The ancien couvent des Pauvres Claires is a Neoclassical monastery located in Brussels, Belgium, now designated as a protected monument. Built to house the Poor Clares, a Franciscan order of sisters devoted to contemplative life, the structure exemplifies the restrained elegance characteristic of Neoclassical design, a style favored for institutional and religious buildings in 18th- and 19th-century Brussels. The convent remains an important part of the city's architectural and religious heritage.
