Chapelle Saint-Vincent-de-Paul

Chapelle Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a Neoclassical chapel in Amiens built with symmetrical facades, columns, and a restrained design characteristic of 18th-century church architecture. The interior features clean lines and proportional spaces that create a sense of ordered simplicity.

Built in the 1730s-1740s under Bishop de la Motte's direction, the building was repurposed as a military hospital and later as a care facility during its later 18th and 19th-century life. It gradually returned to religious use in recent decades.

The building serves as a gathering place for a specific Catholic community that practices traditional forms of worship within these walls. You can observe how the interior spaces are organized to support their spiritual life and ritual practices.

The chapel is located near Amiens Nord Station and is served by local bus lines, making it easy to reach by public transport. Plan your visit around service times to fully experience the interior, as access may be limited outside of scheduled worship hours.

The building functioned for many years as a venue for military ceremonies before returning to its religious purpose, reflecting a chapter of its story that visitors often overlook. This transformation shows how the structure adapted to different needs of the community over time.
