The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette communauté fut fondée en 1707 par le duc de Lorges. Les premières religieuses, arrivées à Quintin le 20 mai 1707, s'établirent provisoirement rue Saint-Thuriau ; un terrain fut ensuite acheté près de la chapelle Saint-Yves : la terre de Bel-Orient et le Clos des Forges. Les premières constructions débutèrent en 1711. Le 23 mars 1730, eut lieu la pose solennelle de la première pierre du choeur des religieuses ; la construction de l'église extérieure, achevée en 1736, avait suivi celle du choeur. Pendant la Terreur, on y plaça en résidence surveillée tous les membres supposés hostiles à la Révolution, tandis que les religieuses étaient enfermées au château. Le couvent, fermé à partir de 1904, devint bien national l'année suivante. C'est ainsi que la ville de Quintin, devenue propriétaire, transforma les bâtiments en logements et écoles.

History
This community was founded in 1707 by the Duke of Lorges. The first nuns, who arrived at Quintin on 20 May 1707, settled provisionally on rue Saint-Thuriau; land was subsequently purchased near the chapel Saint-Yves: the land of Bel-Orient and the Clos des Forges. The first constructions began in 1711. On 23 March 1730, the solemn laying of the first stone of the nuns' choir took place; the construction of the external church, completed in 1736, had followed that of the choir. During the Reign of Terror, all members supposedly hostile to the Revolution were placed there under house arrest, while the nuns were confined to the château. The convent, closed from 1904, became national property the following year. Thus the town of Quintin, which had become owner, transformed the buildings into dwellings and schools.
