Origin and history

Lebrun High School Chapel is a Catholic building located in the city of Coutances, Normandy. Built in the 17th century, it is located in the enclosure of Lebrun High School, close to the cathedral, about 200 meters southeast. Its architecture and local history make it an important part of the English Channel's religious heritage.

The chapel was listed as historical monuments by order of 19 December 1946. This classification reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this place of worship, now integrated in a school. Its precise location, at Legentil-de-la-Galaisière Boulevard and rue de la Mission, is documented in official bases like Mérimée.

Although architectural details are not explicitly described in the sources, its inscription among the historical monuments of the Channel underlines its role in the religious and educational history of Coutances. The chapel remains an example of the Norman Christian heritage, linked to the urban and cultural evolution of the city since the seventeenth century.
