The Folon chapel – The White Penitents 🤍🏛

The chapel of “The White Penitents” in Saint-Paul is today popularly called the Folon Chapel, named after the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon.
In 2008, Folon created a design masterpiece in the chapel by setting up more than 1 million mosaic stones in a stunning decoration.

➡️ History
The chapel was the seat of the fraternity named The White Penitents for more than 3 centuries. Until the 1920s, The White Penitents still carried out their work to help the poorest in the city.

In 2008 the chapel got a brand new interior designed by the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005).
The decoration of the Folon Chapel is inspired by its history.

Folon’s decor is inspired by the chapel’s history and it truly conveys the feelings of open and outstretched hands, who were ready to give help to those in need.
