Runaway Nuns: Convent Heist to Chateau Dreams

تفصیل

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
