Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Sagesse

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Sagesse is a contemporary church in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, distinguished by its distinctive red brick walls that stand out from surrounding buildings. The interior is organized along two symbolic paths: one with four side chapels and another leading to a Reconciliation chapel.

The chapel was completed in 2000 following architect Pierre-Louis Faloci's design. It received the Patrimoine du XXe siècle designation in 2011 for its architectural merit.

The chapel's name references wisdom as a spiritual force that shapes the character of this space. The interior with red brick walls and soft natural light creates a contemporary setting where visitors can pause and reflect.

The chapel sits at the intersection of Abel-Gance and Fernand-Braudel streets and is easily accessible near the François-Mitterrand Library. Visitors can orient themselves by using the distinctive red brick walls as a landmark in the neighborhood.

Polished granite forms the central aisle and is illuminated by strategically placed light openings. This design gradually guides visitors toward the altar and creates a distinctive lighting experience within the sacred space.
