Chapelle Saint-Louis de Poitiers, Baroque church in Poitiers, France.
The Saint-Louis Chapel features two towers at its southern end, with Gothic vaulted ceilings supported by Ionic pilaster capitals inside the structure.
The Jesuits constructed this chapel between 1608 and 1613 as part of their educational institution after establishing themselves in Poitiers in 1604.
The chapel contains a large baroque altarpiece from 1615, including a painting by Louis Finson depicting the circumcision of Jesus Christ.
The monument opens its doors during special exhibitions and European Heritage Days, requiring visitors to check schedules at Poitiers tourist offices.
The sacristy, added in 1664, retains its original walnut woodwork decorated with religious monograms and displays paintings of New Testament scenes.
