Individual Sights in Lyon

Sight 1: Chapelle de l'hôpital Édouard-Herriot

Show sight on map

The chapel of the Édouard-Herriot hospital in Lyon is located in the hospital complex built in the Grange Blanche district by the Lyonnais architect Tony Garnier from 1920. The initial project of this hospital, inaugurated by the President of the Republic Albert Lebrun in 1934, did not provide a chapel. As a result of the demolition of the Charity Hospital and by decision of the Municipal Council and the Mayor Édouard Herriot, the sisters of the Charity Hospital and those of the Hôtel-Dieu came to occupy these new premises as soon as they are completed. Tony Garnier thus entrusted the realization of the cult building to one of his students, Louis Thomas, who had joined his workshop in 1924.
