Origin and history

The Benedictine convent of Châtillon-sur-Seine, founded in the Puits d'Orbe between 1112 and 1129, was transferred in 1619 by Saint Francis de Sales to reform the community. After the adoption of the reform in 1641 and the arrival of nuns from Val-de-Grâce in 1643, new buildings were built in the seventeenth century thanks to Anne of Austria, but remained unfinished at her death in 1666. The planned square courtyard was never closed, leaving a plan in L.

Sold as a national property in 1797, the convent became a town hall and sub-prefecture in 1820. Changes took place in 1826, with the piercing of windows and the addition of a gallery on the Rue du Président-Carnot. The performance hall, which was set up in 1832-1833, lost its stage after subsequent renovations. The building, partially listed as a Historic Monument in 1929, preserves remarkable woodwork.

The abolition of the borough in 1926 ended its function as a sub-prefecture, but it remained the city hall. The site also houses a classified menhir and a music kiosk. The facades, roofs and woodwork on the first floor have been protected since 1929, reflecting its architectural and historical heritage.
