The chapel
The Jesuit college of St. Louis-de-
Gonzague was rebuilt in Art deco style
from 1933 to 1935 by the architect
Henry Violet. The chapel, made of
reinforced concrete, is decorated with a
"fresque" representing the main
episodes of the life of St. Louis de
Gonzague (1568-1591), the work of the
painter Henri de Maistre, director of
the Sacred Art Workshops. This is a
very fine example of the religious
architecture of the thirties in Paris.
The organ
The date and provenance of the organ
are unknown but it may be an old salon
organ. Some sources attribute this
organ to Aeolian-Skinner companay
It was bought by the college in 1964.
His transfer was done by Eugene
Picaud. On this occasion, the
instrument was re-harmonized by
Barbéris. The inauguration was then
given by Marie-Claire Alain on May 27,
1964.
The organ will be renovated in 2021-
2022 by Yves Koenig, following a
comprehensive renovation of the
chapel.
