About the location

Ancienne chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Temple

1 bis rue Saint-Michel, 87210 Le Dorat

Haute-Vienne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

This former chapel of the Franciscan Sisters Notre-Dame-du-Temple, dating from 1898 with original stained glass windows, is now desecrated and regularly hosts exhibitions and events. The original paintings, stained glass windows and furniture are still visible. The building and the liturgical furnishings date from the end of the 19th century and the stained glass windows are by Maître Verrier Dagrand (1898). Privately owned, the place welcomes the public mainly for exhibitions and exceptionally for concerts. An association, Les rendez-vous de la chapelle, has been running the place since the summer of 2015.
