This true hymn to peace was created over a period of 18 months and installed in 1979. The chapel was built in 1265 but was demolished as it looked likely to fall into ruin. A decision was made to preserve only its choir. Marc Chagall was then contacted and asked to design and create a stained glass window to close off the choir. It is the largest stained glass window ever made by the artist - 12 metres high by 7.5 metres wide. Other stained glass windows were also created by the artist to act as the side windows.
