In Yvelines, an 18th-century chapel to renovate. Rebuilt in the 18th century by Moufle de La Tuilerie, then altered during the first half of the 19th century, the château d’Hanneucourt formed a holiday residence consisting of a main house, an orangery, a pigeon house, stables, outbuildings, and a private chapel. The latter, now desacralized, is listed as a historic monument. Located away from busy roads, it appears at the bend of an open courtyard, lined with centenary trees and outbuildings of the château, undergoing rehabilitation and transformation. The building, with an area of approximately 70 m² and a rectangular plan, features a simple architecture. The rendered facades are marked by a semicircular bay on one side and two windows with pointed arches, adorned with stained glass. The building is topped with a slate and zinc pitched roof. On the main facade, a triangular pediment crowns a quatrefoil rose window. A small lantern with a bell dominates the ridge, discreetly reminding of the original purpose of the place. In the immediate vicinity stands the former pigeon house of the estate, contributing to the uniqueness of the whole. The interior of the chapel retains a collected atmosphere, almost intact despite time and years of abandonment. The black and white checkered floor, the woodwork around the choir, the painted decorations, and the stained glass that filters the light create a meditative space. A few statues, paintings, and lecterns remain in place, like silent guardians watching over the nave. The interior volumes, relatively high for a building of this size, provide an unexpected sense of space. Light penetrates with restraint, highlighting the patinated walls and the old paneling depending on the time of day. The immediate surroundings await rethinking, leaving room for the imagination of a monastic-inspired garden or a more contemporary landscaped courtyard.
