The history of the Convent of Les Augustins<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In 1309, Pope Clement V granted the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine permission to build their convent inside the Toulouse city walls. The cloister, right at the centre of the convent, was designed with 160 twin marble columns and eight pillars, topped with sculpted capitals.Today, it is the only fully preserved 14th-century cloister in a sizeable area of south-west France, but it is showing worrying signs of deterioration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threatened heritage soon to be restored<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A comprehensive survey of the cloister revealed significant structural problems: leaning columns, deterioration of the stone and colonnades, poor rainwater management, and so on. Toulouse City Hall has planned a major restoration of the cloister, committing to preserving it in its entirety, at a total cost of \u20ac5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work to consolidate and clean the columns and capitals, following protocols approved by a multidisciplinary scientific committee, has been under way since January 2025 to ensure the conservation of this extremely important heritage site. The cost of this restoration work amounts to \u20ac880,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
