history
The Carmelites had lived in Vic-sur-Seille since 1646 and were only allowed to build a monastery in 1675 . Construction work began around 1680.
After the monastery was closed during the Revolution , the buildings served as a prison and court. Today the monastery building is used as the Mairie (town hall) and the monastery church , which was converted into a market hall from 1876 , as an event hall.
