Chapelle du Saint-Esprit de Rue

The Chapelle du Saint-Esprit de Rue is a chapel in Rue with impressive Gothic features. Inside, it divides into three sections, with vaults holding stone keys and intricate stone ornaments throughout.

The chapel began construction in the 15th century and experienced two centuries of gradual expansion. Rulers and nobles like Duke Philip the Good and Kings Louis XI and XII funded this project across generations.

The chapel displays Flamboyant Gothic forms that are uncommon in this region. Walking through it, you notice detailed stone carvings on every wall and vault.

Visitors can take time to explore the interior spaces at leisure, as access is generally open to the public. Free parking nearby makes the visit convenient and accessible for all types of visitors.

The Treasury section holds a stone altarpiece showing biblical scenes that are visible from both levels. This rare arrangement lets visitors see the same religious stories from different viewpoints.
