About Chapel of the Jesuit College
The Chapel of the Jesuit College is a stunning 17th-century religious monument built between 1612 and 1624 in the distinctive Louis XIII style blending Renaissance and Baroque influences. Founded by Henri de Lorraine, Duke of Guise, and his wife Catherine de Clèves, Countess of Eu, the chapel was dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. The remarkable facade features symmetrical architecture with two flanking towers and superimposed classical orders, while the interior showcases a four-bay nave with Gothic vaulting and elegant brick-and-stone construction inspired by Jesuit churches in Rome.

The Duke of Guise, known as 'le Balafré' (the Scarred) due to a prominent facial scar from battle, was assassinated at the Château de Blois on December 23, 1588, on orders of King Henri III. His body was burned and his ashes scattered in the Loire River, making his elaborate marble monument in the chapel merely a cenotaph - an empty tomb honoring someone buried elsewhere.
