Je suis passé plusieurs fois devant cette chapelle à l’allure surprenante avec ses vitraux sur un bâtiment rectangulaire. J’ai pu la visiter moyennant une entrée payante. Puis une dame m’a gentiment escorté jusqu’à l’entrée et donné des explications sur la visite et fournit un texte en français. Je me suis assis dans cette immense chapelle qui fait sur certains aspects penser à une salle de spectacle. Étant seul j’ai pu plus facilement m’immerger dans l’histoire particulière de cet édifice. À l’étage une exposition est moins intéressante.

Good place to spend the time

Ma tak bogatą historię, że niewiele z tej kaplicy zostało. Okolica wspaniała, natomiast sama kaplica tylko dla zaawansowanych zwiedzających
