Presentation

Richard Mique's chapel at the Queen's Convent is a masterpiece of Neoclassicism in Versailles.
Upon the death of her father, Queen Marie Leszczynska decided to build a convent in Versailles. She called upon Richard Mique, originally from Lorraine, who proposed three designs for the building. The last one was chosen by Madame Adélaïde. It reflects architectural audacity and philosophical reflection on religion and education. The chapel is the sumptuous jewel in its preserved late 18th-century setting.
