Couvent des Carmes Déchaussées

The convent features a single nave with lateral chapels and a flat chevet, incorporating decorative elements that emphasize painted artworks throughout the structure.

Founded in the early 17th century, the convent held its first mass in 1623 and underwent transformation into a medical school in 1820.

The convent houses numerous religious artifacts and features fourteen niches arranged across two levels in the northern wall of its barrel-vaulted crypt.

The former religious complex now functions as a natural history museum, open to visitors, with three preserved original cloister galleries.

The building retains both its religious heritage status and educational function, merging historical architecture with modern museum facilities.
