Let's face it -- there's nowhere else in the Midwest that you're going to see an actual 15th century chapel. Worth seeing just for that. The setting is lovely -- the chapel was not open when I visited, so I only examined the exterior.

It's worth the few minutes it takes to go into the interior of the Marquette University campus to seek out this very simple, historically significant chapel. It is cool and calming inside.

A really beautiful Chapel on the campus of Marquette, University. We actually went here to do a Geocache. If you are into geocaching, there is a virtual one here.

This is a very small structure, but it is surrounded entirely by beautiful gardens and a water fountain in front. This is a popular congregating place for MU students during the warmer months (I myself loved to study here under the shade of the trees when a student). If you happen to catch their late-night Mass in the middle of... More

You would not expect to see this export from France right in the middle of Marquette University campus, but it is there in all it's well preserved beauty. Must see and learn the history of it when visiting Milwaukee

This place was actually brought over from France and is said to be the last place that Joan prayed before she died. Definitely set up a time when you can do a guided tour so you can have the history of her and the chapel explained to you.

Can you imagine that Milwaukee has this Chapel! It is incredible! The engineering students measure the temperature and it is colder than the rest of the Chapel. It would be awesome to be married there!

This historic relic is located within the Marquette University quad off the south side of Wisconsin Avenue. The chapel was originally located in France but reassembled on the MU campus. They do hold masses weekly. You feel transported to the french countryside when you visit this place; hard to believe it's located on a busy college campus in a midwestern... More

This chapel is so spiritual and unique. It's an experience you should not miss. The building is a small masterpiece and the history is worth the trip.

We walked up and down Wisconsin Avenue, looking for the address of the chapel but were unable to find it. The address listed here was a little misleading because the chapel is not actually on Wisconsin Avenue -- it is behind the Marquette University library buildings on a very busy campus. Fortunately, a very friendly student was happy to direct... More
