Chapelle de la maison mère des religieuses de l'Assomption de Paris, Religious chapel in 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
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.
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.
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.
The chapel is open to visitors daily and hosts regular religious services and prayer times throughout the week. Visitors should be respectful of the active religious community and follow the norms expected in a place of worship.
The chapel houses the tomb of Saint Marie Eugenie, founder of the congregation, which draws pilgrims from around the world to this site. Many visitors come specifically to pay respects at this sacred resting place.
