Chapelle Sainte-Louise-de-Marillac

About

The Sainte-Louise de Marillac Chapel is a Catholic chapel located at 55 rue de Chalais, in the commune of L'Haÿ-les-Roses in the Val-de-Marne department. It is dedicated to Louise de Marillac.

History: The chapel was built between 1934 (canonization of Louise de Marillac) and 1938 (publication in an architectural journal). It was designed by architect Raymond Busse. At the end of 2023, the residents protested against the Free telecommunications operator's project to install a 4G and 5G relay station (6 to 8 antennas) in the bell tower. Local residents expressed concern about the visual impact of the new facility on the building, although the Bâtiments de France issued a favourable opinion on the installation.

Description: The chapel is made of a reinforcement of reinforced concrete walls, whose filling is in apparent limestone rubble of Saint-Maximin. It has an octagonal centered plan preceded by a porch bell tower.
