This Gothic chapel was built in France in 1420 and was originally called Saint-Martin de Seysseul. In the 1920s, Gertrude Hill Gavin acquired and moved the Chapel from France to her home on Long Island.
The chapel has been restored and beautiful French-style stained glass windows have been installed. Gavin rededicated the building as the Chapel of St. Joan of Arc and added the “Joan of Arc Stone” to the wall behind a Gothic altar, which she also purchased for the chapel.
The stone has an official French endorsement of authenticity and is believed to have a connection to the saint herself. In 1962, Marc Rojtman purchased the chapel and donated it to Marquette University. The move was completed to its home in Milwaukee in 1966, where it continues to be used for church services and the university.
