Chapelle de l'hôpital Édouard-Herriot

About

The chapel of Édouard-Herriot Hospital in Lyon is located in the hospital complex built in the Grange-Blanche district by Lyon architect Tony Garnier from 1920. The initial project of this hospital, inaugurated by President Albert Lebrun in 1934, did not include a chapel. As a result of the demolition of the Charity Hospital and by decision of the City Council and Mayor Edward Herriot, the Sisters of the Charity Hospital and those of the Hôtel-Dieu came to occupy these new premises as soon as they were completed. Tony Garnier entrusted the construction of the cultural building to one of his students, Louis Thomas, who had joined his studio in 1924.
