Description & Services | |
Description of service(s) | In 1767, the first Acadian families settled here and became the first Acadians to own their land after the deportation (Great Upheaval) of 1755. La Maison Mer de Cocagne is a centennial dwelling located in the southeastern region of Acadia. It was built around 1916, on Cocagne Island. In 1948, the dwelling was moved from the island to the mainland, across from the church. It was mainly used as a convent by the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur, hence its name “Mother House”, from 1949 to 1999, as a place of study and a residential school.After the sisters left, La Maison Mer de Cocagne was converted into a lodge in 1999, under the name “Le Couvent” [The Convent].La Maison Mer de Cocagne is part of the historical and cultural heritage of Cocagne. |
