Cordeliers Convent in Paris

The Cordeliers Convent in Paris is located 15 rue de l'École de Médecine in the 6th arrondissement of the capital.[1]

The Cordeliers Convent in Paris was built during the XIIIth century. It served as a school of theology, a care center and a church.[1] It was nationalized in 1790 and became the home the eponymous Club of the Cordeliers, which held its first meetings there during the French Revolution. The group was evicted from the building on 17 May 1791.[2] The building later housed the Dupuytren Museum of anatomy in connection with the school of medicine, until 2016. It became a monument historique in 1905.[1]
