Aperçu

Discover this astonishing chapel of cubist inspiration, built between 1954 and 1961 on the old place of hermitage of saint Rouin. The building, a work by the Dominican Louis-Bertrand Rayssiguier, fits into its natural environment with sobriety and modernity. The luminous stained-glass windows were imagined in 1959 by young Kimié Bando, daughter of the Japanese painter Toshio Bando. The interior, designed by sculptor Pierre Szekely, combines spirituality and contemporary art. An altarpiece from the abbey of Beaulieu, destroyed during the Revolution, has been brought higher up in the "Cathedral of greenery". This site testifies to a renewal of the pilgrimage initiated in the 19th century by Abbé Aubry. A singular stage of the Vitrail circuit in Argonne.
