Old Saint-Jérôme College

In 1494, Antoine de Roche, Grand Prior of Cluny, built a college in Dole. It was the third and last, after Paris and Avignon, that the Order founded. The spacious buildings also include a library open to all and a Gothic-style chapel. The college offers twelve novices with a scholarship a solid education in law and theology. After the university left in 1691, it became a simple monastery. It is sold in the Revolution, inhabited by the Sisters of the Visitation of Mary in the 19th and 20th centuries and then bought by the city, which converts it into a concert hall.

The former Chapel of St. Jérôme now houses the Karl Riepp Auditorium, a concert hall with approximately 120 seats. Various public facilities are located in the outbuildings of the former college. The grounds are surrounded by a lovely garden, from which you can access a section of the old city wall.
