A very unique chapel tucked away on the university grounds. There are several sites to see that border this little gem. We visited around 6 pm, and the sun was starting to slip behind the taller buildings; giving this visit an almost somber feeling. We did not get a chance to visit the interior of the chapel because it was closed for the day, but the mastery architecture and craftsmanship are evident. A very clean, attractive, and quiet place to visit.
Exceptional! Exquisite! Astonishing! Beyond belief! This Church was brought to the USA in the 60's from France, it was a church there and it still is a church! This Church is dedicated to St. Joan of Arc (1412-1431). There is a spot in the church where Joan knelt while praying! There was a person giving "tours" and answering questions. The experience was unbelievable for free!
I have frequently stopped here when passing through Milwaukee, to get out of the car, wait out rush hour, and reflect. The building and surrounding area were restored and re landscaped last year. Though it is a working chapel on a Catholic college campus, tourists are welcome if polite and respectful.
Tiny chapel with a very interesting history. It's located on Marquette University campus and hosts a lot of students on weekdays. The chapel was shipped from France first to the east coast then to Milwaukee. The level of engineering done to rehab the chapel is amazing. There are pieces inside that are hundreds of years of age and are very valuable. The tour guides are very passionate and knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting this unique chapel.
