The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1718, Jeanne du Temple achète une maison cosntruite à la fin du 16e ou au début du 17e siècle, pour y installer un couvent de filles repenties. Cet ancien couvent comprend deux corps de bâtiments constituant un plan en angle : l'un de 1749, l'autre de 1770. Le premier bâtiment contenait la chapelle, un laboratoire, les chambres de religieuses ainsi que le dortoir des pénitentes. Le second bâtiment renfermait une salle, un lavoir, une cuisine, une infirmerie et un grand dortoir pour pénitentes. Sous la Révolution, des bâtiments servent de prison pour femmes. A partir de 1821, les locaux sont utilisés comme caserne, avec l'installation du conseil de guerre de l'ancienne chapelle, et d'une prison militaire.

In 1718, Jeanne du Temple purchases a house built at the end of the 16th or beginning of the 17th century, to establish there a convent of repentant girls. This former convent comprises two main buildings constituting an angular plan: one from 1749, the other from 1770. The first building contained the chapel, a laboratory, the nuns' chambers as well as the dormitory of penitents. The second building contained a hall, a laundry, a kitchen, an infirmary and a large dormitory for penitents. Under the Revolution, the buildings serve as a prison for women. From 1821 onwards, the premises are used as a barracks, with the installation of the war council of the former chapel, and a military prison.
