Couvent des Clarisses de Roubaix, Historical convent in Roubaix, France
The Convent of Poor Clares stands as a neo-Gothic brick structure with a chapel featuring a small bell tower in the Epeule district of Roubaix.
Built between 1874 and 1876 by architect Jean-Baptiste Bethune, the convent was funded by industrialist Henri Desclée following a near-catastrophe at his factory.
The convent transformed into a contemporary art center called Espace Croisé, hosting exhibitions and artist residencies within its historical walls.
Regular guided tours are available through the tourist office to explore this religious building that now serves as a community and cultural space.
The Zerm collective occupies the former convent since 2019, promoting sustainable practices and operating an alternative hostel within the premises.
