Chapelle du couvent des Sœurs de la Charité de Bourges

Chapelle du couvent des Sœurs de la Charité de Bourges, Religious chapel in Bourges, France.

The chapel of the Convent of the Sisters of Charity of Bourges has a light stone facade with a large pointed-arch window split by a central mullion and filled with circular tracery, flanked by smaller blind arches. Two small square towers with pyramidal roofs rise at the corners, the right one topped by a cross, and the grey roof runs back along a long ridge. The convent buildings stand above the Yèvre and Voiselle marshes.

The building was constructed between 1877 and 1899 and served the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and Charity as a religious and social hub. The sisters continued their work from this place until 2008.

The convent was founded at the very end of the 19th century to house the congregation then based at the Hôtel-Dieu, and it let ladies of high society care for the sick, the poor, prisoners and abandoned children. The sisters left in 2008, followed by the Compagnons du Devoir, who occupied the Antoine-Moreau wing, in 2016.

The chapel sits on elevated ground in the northern part of the city and offers views over the marshlands surrounding Bourges. The location requires some walking to reach on foot.

The convent was saved from demolition in 2017 when the architect of the buildings of France issued an unfavourable opinion and the municipality argued that losing it would reduce the appeal of the marshes. A 2 November 2020 decree then listed the whole complex as a monument historique.
