Couvent de la Merci, Historical monument in Le Marais, France.
The Convent of Mercy features a U-shaped structure with light stone facades and two sundials on the north and west walls of the building.
Marie de Medicis established the religious order in 1613 on the site of a former hospital, before reconstruction by Pierre-François Godot between 1727 and 1731.
The convent belonged to the Order of Our Lady of Mercy, a religious congregation dedicated to freeing Christians captured by Barbary pirates.
Located at 45 rue des Archives, visitors can observe the central courtyard and architectural elements from the main entrance of the building.
The building maintains original 17th-century elements, including woodwork in the south wing and arcades corresponding to the 1687 plan.
