Chapel Sainte-Anne Dijon

The chapel of the former Bernardine monastery, a historical monument built at the end of the seventeenth century, currently houses the collections of the Museum of Religious Art.

On the fence, a plaque commemorates the chapel that served as a mortuary during wartime.

“This chapel was used to gather the bodies
of the victims of the bombings
and the fighting during the liberation of Dijon in 1944.

Then the bodies of the soldiers who died for France
in the Far East (Indochina-Korea)
and in North Africa (Algeria-Morocco-Tunisia)
from 1950 to 1962 were kept.”
