The Old Ursuline Convent is the oldest building in the Mississippi River Valley. Completed in 1752, it is also the oldest surviving example of the French colonial period in the United States. Often referred to as the Archbishop Antoine Blanc Memorial Complex, the Old Ursuline Convent also houses the Archdiocesan archives. The building is known as the "treasure of the archdiocese."

Tours begin at the Chartres Street Gatehouse and continue through the beautifully manicured formal garden. Once inside the main building, the first thing to catch the visitor's eye is the original hand-crafted cypress staircase. The main lodge is filled with dozens of oil paintings of past archbishops, bishops, religious statues and bronze busts. Smaller rooms remind the visitors of the building's many functions over the years: a convent, an orphanage, a makeshift hospital and later a residence hall for local bishops. Most of the structures were restored and repaired in the 1970s during a $3 million restoration.

Behind the main building, there is a peaceful walled courtyard. Here the visitor finds statues that pay homage to founding Ursuline Sisters, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini and Father Francis Xavier Seelos. This area is ideal for prayer and reflection.

Also worth visiting is the herb garden in the back of the convent previously featured on "Victory Garden" on PBS.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

The Old Ursuline Convent is one of the oldest buildings in New Orleans, predating the foundation of the United States.

In addition to the Catholic history represented at this location, visitors also appreciate the opportunity to see classic architecture from the 18th century.

The following section will include advice on how to plan your visit to the Old Ursuline Convent Museum. You can expect details about the best times to visit and what to expect when you arrive.

For more information on the location itself, make sure to visit our museum history section . 

How to Get Here

Use this map  for specific directions to the Old Ursuline Convent Museum.

If you’re planning to use a hop-on-hop-off bus to get around, you’ll be happy to know that there is a stop nearby at the French Market.

Alternatively, you can also take either the #5 or #55 bus to Decatur & Ursulines Ave, which is just one block from the museum.

Visitors who plan on using the streetcar will need to take the #2 to Ursulines Station. This stop is just two blocks from the museum.

The alternative is to take the #49 and make a stop at Ursulines Ave. From here, you can walk five blocks down to the convent. 

Best Times to Visit

Despite the fact that this is one of the most historic locations in New Orleans, there usually aren’t a lot of crowds at the Old Ursuline Convent Museum.

That being said, there are times when this location can get a little more popular than usual. With that in mind, let’s discuss the operational hours for this convent.

Old Ursuline Convent Museum Hours

  • 10 am - 4 pm | Mon-Fri
  • 9 am - 3 pm | Saturday
  • Closed on Sunday

old ursuline convent tour

There aren’t many times when you will run into large crowds at this museum.

If you plan on coming sometime between Monday - Thursday, chances are that you’ll have no trouble planning out a trip whenever you want throughout the day.

Even so, the best way to ensure that you will avoid the busiest times is to plan your trip between the hours of 2 pm - 4 pm .

old ursuline convent tour

The Old Ursuline Convent Museum appears to be at its busiest on Fridays from 11 am - 1 pm .

If you want to avoid large crowds, make sure to choose a different day/time to visit.

Keep in mind that the last admission is at 3:15 pm on weekdays and 2:15 pm on Saturday .

If you need more help deciding when to make your trip, check our what to expect section for additional details that you might want to consider.

What to Expect

Due to the fact that this location usually isn’t very crowded, you should have no trouble spending as much time as you want to look around the Old Ursuline Convent Museum.

That being said, most guests report spending anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours exploring the grounds.

In addition to rotating exhibits, this museum also has a variety of notable items on display such as the cypress spiral staircase in the corner, religious statues, and several beautiful oil paintings of past archbishops and bishops.

In addition, this convent is also known for housing the Archdiocesan archives.

If the various pieces of art and historic artifacts don’t draw you in, the architecture might do the trick.

This is one of the oldest buildings in New Orleans that is still standing, and its design was based on the French neoclassical architectural style of the 18th century.

Even the National Parks Service has referred to this location as “the finest surviving example of French colonial public architecture in the country.”

Visitors with little interest in either architecture or history may still be interested to hear that the Old Ursuline Convent is considered by some to be one of the most haunted places in New Orleans.

Due to the fact that it is one of the oldest buildings in the city, it’s easy to see why rumors and speculation would start to form about the paranormal.

If you want to learn more about this or other haunted locations in the area, consider taking a ghost tour .

old ursuline convent tour

In honor of the Tricentennial (300th anniversary) of New Orleans, the Old Ursuline Convent Museum has created an extensive exhibition covering the history of this city from 1718 - 2018.

In addition to a short documentary about the exhibit, you will also find details and artifacts related to such Catholic sites as the St. Louis Cathedral, the Old Ursuline Convent, and St. Mary’s Chapel.

Historic Artwork

old ursuline convent tour

You will find historic and beautiful oil paintings throughout the church depicting notable bishops and archbishops.

In addition to these pieces of art, you will also find stunning stained glass windows in the main chapel which depict various moments in Catholic history.

Finally, there are several wonderful statues in the Old Ursuline Convent Museum which fans of both art and religious figures may want to check out.

Ursuline Convent Courtyard 

old ursuline convent tour

This area is found behind the main building, and it includes statues that pay homage to the founding Ursuline sisters who formed the convent.

There are also statues honoring Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini and Father Francis Xavier Seelos. The design of the courtyard itself will be hard to forget, with carefully maintained hedges that form a beautiful pattern. 

Cypress Staircase

Usuline Staircase

Found in the corner, this spiral staircase has been in the convent since its first build.

Eventually, it was removed and installed in the second convent.

Unfortunately, visitors aren’t allowed to climb this stairway, but it is a fairly interesting architectural feat that has survived throughout the years.

St. Mary’s Church

Tickets include free admission to this historic church. It was originally built as the bishop’s chapel in 1845, and it was the third chapel erected on the property.

Sadly, the bell tower which once stood here was destroyed during a hurricane in 1914, but the building itself remains intact.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

The Old Ursuline Convent Museum isn’t very far from the heart of the French Quarter. Due to its location, there are a lot of historic and notable landmarks in the area. This section will provide information about nearby attractions that you may want to visit.

St. Louis Cathedral

The Old Ursuline Convent Museum has artifacts related to the St. Louis Cathedral which is only 4 blocks away. For more details, make sure to read our post about the St. Louis Cathedral .

The Cabildo

Although it is now used as a museum, this building was once the site of several historic moments. You’ll find this attraction right next to St. Louis Cathedral. 

The Presbytère

You’ll find this building on the other side of the St. Louis Cathedral, mirroring both the design and appeal of the Cabildo.  Visit our post about the Presbytère to learn more about the attraction.

Jackson Square

This historic square can be found just south of the St. Louis Cathedral. In addition to its history, this landmark is also a common site for public events throughout the year.  Visit our post about Jackson Square to learn more.

Cafe du Monde

With a history that stretches back to the 1860s, it’s no wonder that this location is all about tradition. They have served the same coffee and beignets for over a century now.  Check our post about Cafe du Monde for more info.

French Market

You’ll find this historic marketplace just one block south of the Old Ursuline Convent Museum. See sites such as Dutch Alley and the Joan of Arc statue. If you’re interested, read our post about the French Market .

New Orleans Jazz Museum

What was once the Old U.S. Mint has since become a museum dedicated to the history of jazz in New Orleans. If this sounds like a fun time, read our post about the New Orleans Jazz Museum for more details. 

MUSEUM HISTORY

Although this is one of the oldest buildings in New Orleans, it’s actually not the first convent built in the area. In 1734, the original convent was constructed in a position facing the river.

That building stood and remained functional until 1752 when a new convent was built and the Ursuline nuns moved in.

The current convent has been standing ever since, surviving tragedies such as the Good Friday fire in 1788. For centuries, the building would house nuns and provide schooling for young girls.

This was also used as the residence of the archbishop and the archdiocesan central office. As a matter of fact, the Old Ursuline Convent has also housed the Archdiocesan archives and has been referred to as “the treasure of the archdiocese.”

Upon its designation as a National Historic Landmark, the National Park Service said that “This is the finest surviving example of French Colonial public architecture in the country, Louis XV in style, formal and symmetrical, with restrained ornament.”

Those words were written in 1960, and they still hold true today over 50 years later.

After this designation, the convent received a $3 million dollar restoration which restored and repaired several structures in the building.

Today, the Old Ursuline Convent is used not only as a historic monument dating back to the days before the United States was a country, but also a museum which focuses on both the religious and cultural history of New Orleans.

old ursuline convent tour

Fantastic views and old Russian architecture, and the church with St.Savva.

This is a very old monastery established by St.Savva in 15th centure, and it was also a fortress and a seasonal residence of Russian tzar and his wife. You will see fantastic views of meadows, hills and forests of the central Russia.

It's one of the places that are part of the "Golden Ring" , it's the closest to Moscow . If you are interested in Russian culture/ history , it's the must! There are many small nice restaurants around, as well as hotels. Magnificent place , very powerful and truly Russian . Unspoiled beauty!

Thrilled to see that the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery already has a such a wealth of positive reviews; I totally concur and will consequently attempt to keep my own comments relatively brief. A peaceful place offering some lovely views out across the surrounding countryside. Especially recommended for long-term Moscow dwellers needing a break from the teeming metropolis. Though other reviewers have already mentioned this, I would be remiss if I omitted to say that as this is a working Russian Orthodox place of worship, some sort of head-scarf is recommended for women. As a man, I feel a somewhat awkward saying that, but it's definitely worth knowing. My only regret about my own visit is that we didn't buy more pastries from the on-site bakery, the ones we did have were truly delicious. I would say take large bags with you and stock up, but I am not sure how the full-time residents of the monastery would feel about me advocating baked-goods-based gluttony!

It's an ancient Church opened not so long ago after closing by Soviets. Must visit to feel Russian people and Russian soul. Do not forget that it's a male monastery so consider to wear long dresses with sleeves.

Quiet, with a wonderful architecture. But, ladies, do not forget that it is not for tourists, so cover heads and legs !

Well restored with well-maintained grounds (lots of flowers in July) with a separate spring easily reachable by drive or walk from the main compound. The buildings are colorful and the churches beautiful. A simple cafe near the spring offers a chance to rest and eat excellent baked goods. Worth the visit.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

old ursuline convent tour

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

old ursuline convent tour

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

old ursuline convent tour

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

old ursuline convent tour

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

old ursuline convent tour

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

old ursuline convent tour

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

old ursuline convent tour

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

  • Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
  • Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
  • Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.
