NileGuide Expert Says:
The grounds are beautiful, set on the San Antonio River. Visit the gallery, stroll the grounds. The school hosts special events and even weddings in the lushly landscaped gardens and in the historic chapel.
Description:
- Originally home to the Ursuline Academy School for Girls in the 19th century, this historic property was purchased in 1965 by the San Antonio Conservation Society. The Society feared demolition and decided to save the 10 acres. With reflections of French design, the conglomeration of small buildings is beautiful, especially the small chapel adorned with amazing stained glass. Today the center is where creative adult and child artisans of all skill levels learn and teach. With expert instructors, this is the place to learn traditional and contemporary arts and crafts. Even if you are not interested in taking a class, stroll through the grounds and visit the art gallery.
