Founded by the Carmelite monks in 1281, the Castelsarrasin convent complex was largely destroyed after the French Revolution, leaving only the medieval bell tower and portal.

The Reverend Carmelite Fathers settled in Castelsarrasin in 1281 and built a convent, church and cemetery. Having become national property during the French Revolution, the commune acquired the convent on May 29, 1791. Because of its central location, the commune planned to establish its town hall there. The church, cloister, dormitories and refectory were then sold to the département to house the prisons, gendarmerie and court. The only remains are the bell tower (14th century) and a portal (late 13th century), the entrance to today's Espace Paul Descazeaux.
