Chapelle de la Visitation, Religious chapel in Paray-le-Monial, France
The Chapelle de la Visitation features a Neo-Romanesque architectural design with a large fresco depicting religious scenes and a sculpted tympanum above the entrance.
Built in 1633, the chapel gained recognition when Sister Marguerite-Marie Alacoque experienced visions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus between 1673 and 1675.
The chapel contains a wax statue of Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, who was canonized in 1920, making it an important destination for Catholic pilgrims.
Visitors can attend daily masses at 9 am and 6 pm on weekdays, with an additional morning service at 9 am on Saturdays.
The interior displays a prominent fresco created between 1966 and 1973 that illustrates the second apparition of Christ revealing his Passion wounds.
