Ancienne chapelle Saint-Aignan, Romanesque chapel in Île de la Cité, France
The Saint-Aignan Chapel measures 10 meters by 5 meters, featuring three bays including one for the choir and two for the nave with round arches.
Etienne de Garlande, dean of Saint-Aignan of Orleans and chancellor of King Louis VI, established the chapel around 1116 for two regular canons.
The chapel represents the single remaining religious structure from numerous churches that populated the Cité district during the 12th century.
The chapel opens exclusively during Heritage Days, with its entrance located between Rue des Ursins and Rue Chanoinesse in Paris fourth district.
During the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, the chapel served as a secret location for non-juring priests to conduct religious services.
