About the location

Chapelle de l'Hôtel-Dieu (HCL)

1 place de l'Hôpital, 69002 Lyon

Métropole de Lyon
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Built in the seventeenth century and reorganized in the nineteenth century, the Chapel of the Hotel-Dieu, with the Counter-Reformation architecture adapted to the hospital, is entirely decorated in neo-baroque trompe-l'oeil. Since 2012, a major restoration has made it possible to recover the brilliance of three side chapels (chapels of the Virgin, baptismal font and St Joseph), the Virgin of Mimerel, the pulpit, and all the paintings and stained glass windows. In the baptismal font of this hospitaller chapel more than 40,000 children were baptized in 1945 and 1975\. Still dedicated to worship, it also regularly hosts cultural activities. From 2018, after the reconversion work of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu, the chapel will adjoin the entrance of this emblematic architectural complex that will hold an important place in the new heritage center of Lyon.
