Overview

On March 16th, 1920, the spouses Meyer, owner of the site of Alumnat, give this space to the fathers Assomptionnistes. On September 16th, 1920, the Alumnat Sainte Odile opens his(her) doors to 18 Alsatian schoolchildren. This majestic site is then compound(then made up) of a main building(ship) where are done up of dormitories, a refectory and a study hall. Over time, Alumnat expands and the chapel is built in 1922\\. In 1966, a hundred of pupils still take class(course) dispensed(exempted) by "Paderle" and more particularly by father Césaire Kaysr but times change and Alumnat closes its doors definitely in 1978\\. In 2001, several buildings(ships) are destroyed and, today, only the desecrated chapel remains(subsists). It is the last witness(baton) of a time(period) when numerous young people, come from all Alsace, were trained(formed) and educated.
