Chapelle de la Trinité, Baroque chapel in 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Chapelle de la Trinité is a baroque chapel in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon featuring white Carrara marble, sculptural elements, and trompe-l'oeil effects inside. The building displays typical characteristics of baroque sacred architecture in a central location.
Architect Étienne Martellange built this chapel between 1617 and 1622 as a significant introduction of baroque style to Lyon's religious buildings. The structure marks an important turning point in the city's architectural history.
The chapel functions as a concert hall where classical music performances take place regularly. Visitors experience how sacred space transforms into a venue for artistic expression.
The chapel is located on Rue de la Bourse and is easily reachable by taking Metro line A to Cordeliers station. Its central location makes arriving and leaving convenient.
The building housed Lyon's first astronomical observatory in 1702, established at the request of Dominique Cassini. Father Jean de Saint-Bonnet played a key role in setting up this scientific facility.
