 FORMER CHAPEL OF THE URSULINE CONVENT Listed Building - 1670-1680 52000 LANGRES GPS : 47.86467,5.330861   Tel. : 03 25 87 67 67 Fax : 03 25 87 73 33 Mail : info@tourisme-langres.com The Sisters of Saint Ursula arrived in Langres in 1613 and they had for vocation the education of young girls, and the care of elderly residents. The community originally occupied a private dwelling on the rue de la Tournelle, before having built a more functional convent in 1631. The chapel would not be finished until the end of the century (around 1670 – 1680). The gateway, although in very poor condition, still suggests a heavy decorated section, with twinned columns, niches, winged cherubs and interlaced emblems. In 1818 the building became a barracks and in 1974 two thirds of the building were demolished in order to make space for a residential building.
