Couvent des Célestins, Medieval convent in Vichy, France.
The Couvent des Célestins features a rectangular building with a double-sloped roof, characteristic of 15th-century Bourbon fortified houses in central France.
Duke Louis II of Bourbon initiated the construction of the Celestine monastery in 1402, with the church beginning construction before his death in 1410.
The convent held a traditional Holy Thursday ceremony where thirteen local residents would represent the disciples of Christ during the Last Supper reenactment.
The remaining structure of the Couvent des Célestins stands within the Célestins Park, between Old Vichy district and the Albert Londres university campus.
The convent gave its name to the Vichy Célestins mineral water brand, whose spring flows just below the historical building.
