Chapel of the Augustine Sisters of Saint Mary

The Chapel of the Augustine Sisters of Saint Mary (Chapelle de la Congrégation des Augustines du Saint Cœur de Marie) is the chapel of the sisters of the convent of the Sacred Heart of Mary, located at 29 rue de la Sante, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. The building, in the neo-classical style,is considered a particularly good example of the religious architecture built in Paris during the July Monarchy of King Louis Philippe I. The Congregation of the Augustines of the Sacred Heart of Mary was founded in Paris in 1827, and was dedicated to creating a clinic for the poor and homeless. In 1836, the congregation acquired the residence of the Count of Chalabre, and commissioned the architect Antoine-Casimir Chaland to transform it into a chapel and home for their clinic, which opened in 1840. The order maintained the clinic until 1984, when the sisters of the dedicated the building entirely to the chapel and the residences of the sisters, following the doctrine of their order. The chapel is open to the public during the daily worship services at 11:00 a.m..
