Courville Cistercian Convent
The Cistercian convent of Courville was a priory of the Cistercian women in Courville-sur-Eure , Eure-et-Loir , France from 1642 to 1748 .
history
In 1642 (one year after that of Saint-Aignan ), the Saint-Bernard monastery of the so-called Saint Bernard Sisters (Cistercian Sisters) was founded to look after the institutions for the poor and sick in Courville (15 km west of Chartres ) . In 1748 the monastery was dissolved. The Saint-Gilles Chapel (in Rue de l'Arsenal and Rue Saint-Gilles ), now the seat of the Tourist Office (Syndicat d'Initiative), probably belonged to the monastery complex. Peugniez doesn't know the monastery.
