The history of the window is exciting: in 1970, it was decided to demolish the adjacent, dilapidated building. The chapel was then restored. Due to the demolition, the chapel was open to the east. Marc Chagall was commissioned to close the opening with a stained-glass window, the Window of Peace, completed in 1976.

Peace – symbolic, biblically inspired. In the context of openness to the east, the window functions not only as a closure of the opening, but as a source of light, as a space open to the light.
Work on it took two years.
Dimensions: approximately 12 meters high x 7.5 meters wide. Weight approximately 900 kg.
Chagall designed the window, which was created together with the stained-glass artist Charles Marq in the Atelier Simon in Reims.
