This civilian building was partially built in the 15th century, sold to the Ursulines and then redeveloped in the early 17th century; it was encompassed into the convent extension and then used as a residence by the Abbess. Only the façade on Rue du 4 septembre still has Renaissance features, such as pilasters and capitals (1619).
All that remain of the first religious building, which was on the same site, are the apse (visible from Impasse Monge) and the vault of a chapel whose foundations were blessed in 1096 by Pope Urban II on his way back from the Council of Clermont, where he ordered the first crusade.
Place Pie, named after the visit of Pope Pius VII (following his release in 1814 by Napoleon I, who had imprisoned him in 1809) was not a public place, but was the inner courtyard of the Ursuline convent.
