[EN] The Petit Séminaire is housed in a former convent established in the 17th century. With its gardens transformed into parking lots and squares, it still occupies a large part of the town of Pont-Croix.

In the 17th century, Sébastien II de Rosmadec undertook the Aco construction of a convent for the nuns of the Ursuline order. In the 16th century, it housed a girls' school and a home for the elderly. During the Revolution, it was sold as national property; the 33 Ursulines were expelled. The convent was transformed into barracks and a saltpetre factory. In 1796, Tréhot de Clermont buys the convent and rents it out; a gendarmerie barracks is set up there.
