Moved to Marquette from Long Isalnd, NY in the mid 1960s, the little Saint Joan of Arc Chapel is believed to be the only medieval building in the Western Hemisphere still used in its original capacity. There are many stories associated with the chapel, originally built during the 15th century in the village of Chasse, near Lyon, France. For instance, the chapel contains a stone that was kissed by Joan of Arc before she died and is colder to touch than all the other stones, according to legend. The beautiful park-like setting of the Central Mall, bordered by 13th and 16th Streets and Wisconsin Avenue and Clybourn Street, is popular with students and faculty. |
