Monastère du Carmel de Lourdes, Carmelite monastery in Lourdes, France.

The Carmelite monastery of Lourdes stands on the Route de Pau, facing the Massabielle grotto. Its buildings include a chapel built in 1899 by Jean-Marie Lacrampe and later reworked by Pierre Vago in the 1970s. The community numbers about thirty nuns. The chapel is open to visitors in summer.

Mother Thérèse de Jésus, who entered the Carmel of Tulle in January 1852, founded the monastery and became its first prioress. In 1874 she bought the land facing the Massabielle grotto, at the spot where Bernadette Soubirous stood during the eighteenth and last apparition on 16 July 1858, and had soil brought there for the building. The first stone was laid on 18 April 1874 before Bishop Langénieux of Tarbes, and the monastery was inaugurated on 16 July 1876 under the title of the Holy Name of Jesus given by Pius IX.

The Carmelite sisters spend their days in choral prayer, meditation and manual work, following the rule reformed in the 16th century by Teresa of Ávila. Their contemplative lifestyle provides spiritual support for pilgrims visiting Lourdes. The community also offers guidance for women considering a monastic vocation.

The convent is located at 17 Route de Pau, roughly one mile from the sanctuary. Visitors may attend services in the chapel, though access to the enclosed areas is not permitted. Young women can apply for stays to experience monastic life. City buses connect the site with downtown Lourdes.

The land was bought in 1874 by Mother Thérèse de Jésus, who had entered the Carmel of Tulle in January 1852 and became the first prioress here until 1892. The site lies opposite the Massabielle grotto, where Bernadette Soubirous had her eighteenth and last apparition on 16 July 1858. The monastery was inaugurated on 16 July 1876, eighteen years later, and Pius IX gave it the title of the Holy Name of Jesus.
