Monastère des Bernardines de Dijon
Monastère des Bernardines de Dijon, Religious monastery in Dijon, France.
The Bernardines Monastery in Dijon is a religious complex built in classical style, with its main church constructed between 1699 and 1709 following architectural plans from the Oratorian order. The complex includes several buildings arranged around courtyards that once served the daily needs of the religious community.
The monastery was founded in 1623 by Jeanne de Courcelles de Pourlans with Cistercian nuns and expanded until 1767. The French Revolution transformed its purpose, ending its original religious function and leading to new uses.
The monastery now houses two museums displaying religious artworks and objects related to daily life in the Burgundy region. These collections reveal how people lived and worshipped in this area over centuries.
The monastery sits in central Dijon and is easily accessible on foot from the main town areas. Visiting is best done during guided tours, which are offered on specific days throughout the year.
The complex once featured a separate external building constructed in 1767 that served a special purpose in the monastery's operations. This structure allowed certain sisters to maintain connections with the outside world while remaining part of the community.
