Grenfell Hall is a unique property in Grenfell. It was built in 1907 as a private home and was bought by the Roman Catholic Church in 1952 and made into a convent for the order of the Josephites. This is when the Chapel was added. The church sold the convent in 1977 and it had many incarnations. The Hall now as been fully restored to its former glory with beautiful stenciled walls and is furnished with beautiful antiques and art from around the world.
