Chapelle Saint-Louis de Champ des Martyrs, Memorial chapel in Avrillé, France

The Saint-Louis Chapel stands with its neoclassical architecture, featuring intricate stained glass windows created by Jean Clamens in 1895.

The chapel was constructed in 1852 at a site where over 2,000 people were executed during the French Revolution in 1794.

The chapel houses twelve burial pits and serves as a necropolis, marking a significant period of religious persecution in French history.

Visitors can access the chapel through arrangements with the local municipality of Avrillé, located near Angers in the Maine-et-Loire department.

The stained glass windows, protected as historical monuments, depict specific events from the 1794 executions with religious figures and martyrs.
