Monastère Saint-Joseph de Conflans, Cistercian monastery in Conflans, Albertville, France

The monastery Saint-Joseph stands between the Savoy Museum and the Saracen Tower, occupying a strategic position in the medieval town of Conflans.

Established in 1637 by the Bernardines of La Roche-sur-Foron, the monastery occupied a former fortified house that later became the Citadelle de Conflans hotel.

The religious community focused on educating young women from noble families and upper-class Savoyard society during the 18th century.

The monastery buildings now function as a museum and international accommodation center, offering visitors insights into regional religious heritage.

In 1792, following Savoy's union with France, military forces occupied the monastery, leading to its gradual transformation into different facilities.
