Origin and history

The church of the Carmelite Convent of Castelsarrasin is a religious monument located in the commune of Castelsarrasin in the Occitan region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or details of its architectural or spiritual history. In the general context of medieval and modern Occitania, convents and churches played a central role in the life of local communities.

They served as places of worship, education, and sometimes reception for travellers or the poorest. The beggars, like the Carmelites, often settled in dynamic cities to carry out their spiritual and social mission.
