Le couvent fut construit pour abriter les religieuses hospitalières arrivées à Guingamp en 1676. L'édifice servit d'hôpital jusqu'à la Révolution, période à laquelle il fut converti en prison, et la chapelle en écurie. En 1803, l'ancien couvent fut rendu aux religieuses, mais les salles des malades tombant en ruine, un nouvel hospice fut construit. L'édifice fut racheté par la ville en vue d'y installer la mairie. En 1914, les jardins furent aménagés en jardin public. Magnifique chapelle Renaissance qui sert de salle d'exposition. C'est une des plus belles mairies de Bretagne.
Former monastery of the Augustines Hospitalières - City Hall
The convent was built to house the hospital nuns who arrived in Guingamp in 1676. The building served as a hospital until the Revolution, when it was converted into a prison and the chapel into a stable. In 1803, the old convent was returned to the nuns, but the wards were falling into ruin and a new hospice was built. The building was bought by the city in order to install the town hall. In 1914, the gardens were turned into a public garden. Magnificent Renaissance chapel which is used as an exhibition room. It is one of the most beautiful town halls in Brittany.
