⛪ Sorbonne Chapel

The Chapel of Sainte-Ursule de la Sorbonne, also known as the Sorbonne Chapel, is a chapel at the Sorbonne in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France. Designed by Jacques Lemercier, the present chapel was built as part of Cardinal Richelieu's reconstruction of the College of Sorbonne. Its design combined its function as the college chapel with that of a funerary monument to Richelieu, whose tomb stands beneath its dome. It is the only surviving building of Richelieu's 17th-century reconstruction of the college, the remainder having been replaced during the rebuilding of the Sorbonne in the late 19th century.
