SUB-PREFECTURE
The main building has housed the sub-prefecture since 1800.
Located in a cul-de-sac at the bottom of Rue de la République, the former Trinitaires convent was founded in 1244 by Alphonse of Portugal and his wife. Originally an Hôtel-Dieu, it became a convent dedicated to the redemption of prisoners. It included a cloister, the Saint-André church (circa 1392), a cemetery, gardens and vineyards. Due to a lack of funds, the hospital was soon abandoned. During the French Revolution, the monks were expelled and the church destroyed. The main building has housed the sub-prefecture since 1800. The facades and turret have been listed since 1927.
