The Sisters of Saint Ursula arrived in Langres in 1613 to educate young girls and take in older boarders. The community first occupied a private mansion on the rue de la Tournelle, before having a more functional convent built in 1631. The chapel was not completed until the end of the century (around 1670-1680). The heavily deteriorated portal still features a highly charged decorative scheme: twin columns, niches, winged putti, intertwined emblems, etc.
Converted into barracks from 1818, two-thirds of the buildings were demolished in 1974 to make way for a residence.
