Ancien couvent des Ursulines, Historical convent in medieval Dinan, France
The convent complex consists of a chapel and two residential wings forming an L-shaped structure in the historic district of the city.
Founded in 1620 under Saint-Malo bishop's authority, the convent housed 34 Ursuline nuns until their expulsion during the French Revolution in 1792.
The building illustrates the religious architecture of 17th century Brittany, incorporating architectural elements characteristic of the Ursuline order.
The convent chapel, located at 19 Rue de la Boulangerie, opens its doors during Heritage Days and special events throughout the year.
After 1802, the building served as a sailcloth manufacturing facility, demonstrating the industrial conversion of religious properties following the Revolution.
