Runaway Nuns: Convent Heist to Chateau Dreams
6/15/202658 min
In this episode, the Compendium team tells the true story of eight Belgian nuns who, fed up with strict church rules and impending closure, secretly sold their 600-year-old convent, bought a castle in southern France, and embraced a life of luxury. With help from a groundskeeper, they navigated legal loopholes, faced backlash from the Church, and experienced a dramatic legal battle and eventual return to Belgium.
The episode explores motivations, church hypocrisy, and surprising twists—touching on financial schemes, alleged romances, and the fallout that followed.
