Convent Cordelières
This is the most off-center building in the medieval city of Provins. It is located outside of the city walls. It was founded by a convent in the thirteenth century by Count Thibaud IV. It is said that he built it on this hill, in front of his palace, because of a vision he had had of Santa Catalina. In 1749, by order of King Louis XV, it became the city's general hospital. Today this magnificent building stores files of the Directorate of Heritage and National Monuments, as well as being a school of tourism. Unfortunately, it is rarely open to the public.
