Chapel Solferino, Luz-Saint-Sauveur: Overall view

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

G. Massiot & cie
Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of France
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

The building no longer has the tall spire, or the side tower.

The chapel was built in the 19th century over ruins from the 12th century. Luz-Saint-Sauveur had become a spa and resort and was frequented by Napoleon III and Eugenie in the 1860s. Napoleon III was attracted to the ruins and their history and decided to rebuild a chapel there dedicated to the dead of the Battle of Solferino (June 4, 1859). The modern International Red Cross was founded (and the Geneva Conventions established) as a result of the carnage of that battle.
