Ancienne chapelle du couvent des Ursulines

The Sisters of Saint Ursula arrived in Langres in 1613 to educate young girls and take in older boarders. The community first occupied a mansion on rue de la Tournelle, before building a more functional convent in 1631. The chapel was not completed until the end of the century (around 1670-1680). The heavily deteriorated portal still features a highly charged decorative scheme: twin columns, niches, winged putti, intertwined emblems...
Transformed into barracks in 1818, two-thirds of the buildings were demolished in 1974 to make way for a residence.
