Origin and history

The Ursulines d'Evreux convent, located on Rue Édouard-Feray in the city of Évreux (Eure, Normandy), is a historical monument built in the 17th century. This convent, now partially preserved, was initially dedicated to religious and educational life, as evidenced by the vestiges of its convent architecture and chapel. The protected elements include facades, roofs, and the interior staircase with balusters, reflecting the style of the era.

Filed by order of 10 June 1975, the site retains significant traces of its past use. The accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory", and its official address, recorded in the Merimée base, confirms its anchoring in the city centre of Évreux. Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not detail its social history or occupants, its listing as historical monuments underscores its heritage importance.

Like other convents in the region, this place could have played a role in educating girls or assisting local populations in the seventeenth century, a period marked by the influence of religious orders in Normandy. However, the accessible archives do not specify the exact activities of the Ursulines in Evreux, nor the significant events related to this convent. Its current state and possible contemporary uses (visits, rentals) are not documented in the sources consulted.
