Origin and history

The orthodox chapel of the Gauls of Villers-lès-Nancy is a religious monument located in the commune of Villers-lès-Nancy in the Grand Est region. This place of worship is distinguished by its belonging to the Orthodox tradition, a special feature in an architectural landscape dominated by Catholic or Protestant buildings. The Orthodox chapels in France, although fewer than other types of religious buildings, bear witness to the cultural and spiritual diversity of the territory.

Their presence often reflects the history of the Orthodox communities in France, especially from the twentieth century. These places of worship play a central role in the lives of the faithful, as places of prayer, assembly and preservation of the liturgical traditions of Orthodoxy.
