Collège Bellefonds, School building in Rouen, France

Collège Bellefonds was a school complex located on rue Beauvoisine in Rouen with multiple structures serving classrooms and administrative purposes. The buildings displayed 19th-century solid construction alongside later additions built to accommodate growing enrollment.

The site experienced two main phases: first as a Benedictine convent established in 1648, later transformed into a school founded in 1862 by the Christian Brothers. This educational function shaped the area for more than 140 years before institutional changes began in 2009.

The name comes from a prominent local family whose legacy shaped Rouen's religious and educational landscape for centuries. Walking through the area, one can sense how institutions like this anchored community life in the city.

The site sits in a central urban area of Rouen with good access via the city's street network. Since the buildings have been converted to residential apartments, the interior is not open to visitors, but the exterior facades remain visible from the street.

The school buildings were purchased by developers in 2012 and converted into residential apartments while preserving the historic facades. This transformation illustrates how many former educational institutions across France find new purpose in contemporary urban neighborhoods.
