Uninhabited since 2008, the former convent of the Poor Clares is a monastic complex built by Baron Bethune in 1876. Since 2019, the Zerm collective has re-invested the premises and is in charge of finding them a new function. In parallel, the Friends of the Poor Clares Monastery perpetuate the history and memory of the contemplative nuns who once lived there.
