Heritage classified

The entrance door with its two pilasters, the entanglement to triglyphs and the pediment to exceed it: inscription by order of 31 October 1941

Origin and history

The building known as the former convent of the Sisters of Notre Dame is located in Toul, in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle, in the Greater East. This building, whose precise history remains partially documented, houses a remarkable entrance door, classified as Historical Monuments. The protected element includes two pilasters, a triglyphic entanglement and a pediment, testifying to a neat architecture probably related to its past religious use.

The official protection of this door by decree of 31 October 1941 emphasizes its heritage interest, although the available archives do not detail the complete history of the convent or its foundation. The site, located at 8 rue du Général-Foy, retains a tangible record of the presence of the Sisters of Notre-Dame in Toul, without additional sources specifying their period of activity or subsequent transformations of the place. The lack of data on its openness to the public or its current vocation limits the knowledge of its contemporary use.
