Chapelle de la maison mère des religieuses de l'Assomption de Paris, Religious chapel in 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Description

The Chapel of the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Assumption is a modern structure built with a triangular shape in reinforced concrete, situated within the convent grounds. Its distinctive geometric form reflects mid-20th-century religious architecture.

History

The Sisters of the Assumption acquired the property in 1855, which had previously belonged to prominent figures including diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. The chapel building itself was constructed later as a modern structure.

Culture

The chapel windows were designed by Maurice Max Ingrand, a French glass artist recognized for his distinctive stained glass work in religious buildings across France.
