Text description provided by the architects. The renovation of the 18th-century mansion the generalate and the Ursuline convent in the city center of Hasselt is the final part of the ‘Ursulinhof’ urban renewal project. The historic site next to the ‘Groenplein’ was managed and expanded by the Ursuline Sisters from 1879 onwards. There, they taught thousands of pupils in a large school building and lived and worked from their own convent en generalate. After the school moved to a new location in 2019, a master plan was drawn up to give the site a new life. The school was demolished, the listed buildings retained, but the later additions were removed.
