Couvent des Cordeliers de Châteauroux
Couvent des Cordeliers de Châteauroux, Franciscan convent in Châteauroux, France.
The Couvent des Cordeliers features stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and a fifty-meter-long nave within a medieval architectural complex in central Châteauroux.
Founded in 1214 by Brother Filiponti, a companion of Saint Francis of Assisi, the convent housed up to fifty monks during its peak in the 15th century.
The convent now functions as an exhibition space, hosting contemporary art displays and the International Ceramics Biennial in its converted medieval halls.
The gardens remain accessible day and night throughout the year, while the interior spaces open only during scheduled exhibitions and guided tours.
The 8,000-square-meter garden, arranged in terraces, connects to restored ancient washhouses along the Indre River through multiple landscaped pathways.
