The former community of nuns

In 1823, the construction of the former community of nuns began, near their first chapel built in 1651 and destroyed in 1849. This building marks a "physical" separation between the Cour de Germont and the Cour Leschevin, which are connected by a vaulted passage. It is the only building constructed in the 19th century, in a style significantly different from the others. The ground floor, which houses the vaulted kitchens and the sisters' refectory, is in fact built entirely of stone, with eight arched windows in imitation of those in the Vauquelin chapel. The two floors where the nuns' dormitories are located are built of brick in a sober style. The roof is covered with slates. At the beginning of 1940, the bell tower placed in the axis of this roof was demolished because it threatened to collapse.

In 1936, a new community for the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity was built next to the south side of the chapel.

From this date onwards, the old community housed a pneumology department on the upper floors and after 1990 the Medical Commission of the establishment moved to the ground floor.
