Carmelite Convent Flavignerot
The Carmelite Monastery of Flavignerot (also: Carmelite Monastery of Dijon ) has been a monastery of the Carmelites in Flavignerot , Côte-d'Or , in the Dijon Archbishopric in France since 1979 .
history
The Carmelite convent of Saint Joseph, which had existed in Dijon (Rue Sainte-Anne) since 1605, was dissolved in 1792 by the French Revolution . The last nun died in 1843. Only the facade of the chapel remains.
After unsuccessful attempts to found a new establishment in Strasbourg (from 1860), a building was acquired again in Dijon (Boulevard Carnot 4) in 1870 and moved into in 1872. St. Elisabeth of the Trinity lived in this convent from 1901 to 1906 .
The convent, which no longer found the necessary quiet in the urban environment, decided in 1975 to move to Flavignerot (13 km southwest of Dijon). In 1979 the new building there was occupied. The architecture of the monastery church develops the motif of the ladder to heaven inside and out . Next to the church, the cell of St. Elisabeth of the Trinity was reconstructed as an accessible memorial. In front of the church there is a statue of the saint on the side.
