INSTITUTE CHAPEL
Chapel of flamboyant neo-gothic style, founded in 1851 to accommodate suffering old people, hosts exhibitions
This chapel owes its name to the Institute founded in 1851 by Joseph Magot with the aim of welcoming suffering old people. Touched by the death of his son, Sieur Magot had this funeral monument built in his honour twenty years later. Since then, the Institute has been destroyed by bombing during the Second World War before being transferred to the city's hospital grounds. The chapel, on the other hand, has remained standing within a modern structure (adjacent to a media library and a centre for integration through training). It regularly hosts exhibitions. Its flamboyant neo-gothic style was very much in vogue in the 19th century. As a decoration, one can observe flames at the level of the arches and the three-lobed bays. Its pure style gives the whole a soothing atmosphere. The chapel has also become a place for artistic exhibitions.
