À propos du lieu

Couvent des Annonciades Célestes

Haute-Marne
Grand Est

The nuns of the Celestial Annunciations settled in Langres in 1623 and remained until 1984\. The convent was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century: it exudes a «strong impression of balance and harmony; everything says here the austerity of life and the erasure» (G. Viard 1990).
Built in 1684 by architect C.A. Allier and contractor N. Clerc, as indicated by the date on the front cartouche, the chapel is now occupied by the Museum of Sacred Art.
