I would love to help with the restoration of the chapel.I have taught 15 different forms of glass.Traditional and modern glass.I have done restoration as well as original work in glass and mural painting.I will contacting your work-stay program.I have been teaching workshops for 35 years .My heart was stirred by the reason for the building of the chapel.I feel due to the reason for the chapel that the door handles are little lambs.Dedicated to Little Charles!

There must be more hidden doors and such that have yet to be discovered! How exciting, it’s like Narnia! 😀

This has been the best and most moving vlog yet. The chapel is even more of a treasure that I realized. I'm so grateful that this gem is in such loving and caring hands.

Yes! I was so excited about the old Mill and the possibility of archaeology, with the lake survey coming up. But the Chapel certainly holds many fascinating treasures and mysteries as well, I am sure. Such a beautiful structure. And being g a fairly recent construction, I wonder what may have been there on that rise previously? I wonder the same of the chateau, being on a rise. It was traditional for religious structures and important buildings to be built upon the remains of previous structures, especially on rises.

I was thinking, as I watched, "I bet the owner who questioned selling the chapel to a single woman, has changed his mind".

I agree with you about the philosophy of restoration. Many hold this almost romantic view of allowing works of art to age but I'm with you in that I don't think the original artists would feel fond about their works of art effectively rotting away. Restoration should always be about restoring works in a way which most resembles how they originally looked and the intentions of their authors. Nothing ever should be added.

The saint with the palm and plate is Saint Lucy. The other one you showed seems to be Saint John Mary Vianney patron of priests. Loved your chapel.

When you said the artist named was Marc de Toulouse, all I could think of was Pheobe Buffay talking about her French grandmother's cookie recipe. Her grandmother's name... Neslay Toulouse (Nestle Tollhouse) :P

Stevie Valenti That’s such a funny episode!

I and my Husband are in so much awe to your sensitiveness towards the Catholicism presented in St. Joseph Chapel. You are very down to earth, and very honest, admitting you are not very religious. It is your empathy that God has blessed you to be able to continue what your father dreamt to achieve. He, together with your grandma abd great grandmother are guiding you. Thank you very much for sharing this very sweet segment. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 In Catholic imagery, the froglike door knobs at the chapel : The frig has two opposite meanings; Because of its reappearance after winter hibernation, it represents the Resurrection. The other, it is interpreted as symbol of those who snatch at life's fleeting pleasures. The statue holding a gold plate, (her eyes were on the plate), and a palm on the other arm is St. LUCY.

Being Catholic myself, I love this video soooo much! It makes me so happy to know your family is also Catholic.

I believe the saint holding the platter is St. Lucy. She is patron of the eyes. She usually has a pair of eyeballs on the platter. Perhaps they fell off? The chateau is blessed to have you as its chatelaine. I am in awe of your passion for the history and art of the chateau and your commitment to make it shine again. I was delighted to see your willingness to crawl down into the furnace vent in your pretty dress and yellow coat.

What an interesting blog, can not wait to see the chapel done and that heating system is amazing.....they were ahead of their times❣️

The skull in St. Aloysius window could also be a "memento mori" which was common in religious paintings as it served as a "reminder of death."

Dear heart, The joy that overflows from you to all of us, is a gift of great beauty during this time of isolation. I was diagnosed for a second time with triple negative breast cancer. As much as I long to visit your paradise, I am grateful to God for the respite you provide during this difficult time in my life. Please receive from me, to you and your family a gentle heart hug for your journeys ahead.

The document you held, written in Latin, describes and verifies a true relic , particles from the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph, her spouse. Not being able to see the document clearly, I do not know whether the relic is within the altar stone, or in a reliquary, perhaps to be found somewhere in the chapel or the chateau. I'd love to see the document placed upon a table in order to see and read it. Even though there is staining of the document, enough of the script may be seen to solve your mystery.

Stephaine you are amazing you should have your own television programme. I love what you are doing, I myself & husband restored an old chapel dated 1210 recorded in pope Nicholas tax record 8 shillings&6 pence was paid then in tax. It had been a ruin which it on our estate in Northern Ireland, it lay has a ruin until we restore it in 2005 it took a fortune but we now hold wedding ceremonies in it & it has more than paid for its self. I wish you every success you well deserve it. I have never been to France but it is my dream to visit, some day maybe my dream will come true.

Oh my goodness I think your Chapel is the best part of LaLande! What a treasure. Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful details and history of the Chapel.

With electronic translator. I'm Brazilian, and I'm completely in love with this Chapel. You are a very dedicated person, and I am sure you will be able to restore the Chapel to its original beauty. I wish you and your family to be richly blessed. I am a celibate woman, and I live with my mother (age 78) and a sister. My father died just 6 days ago from leukemia. He was 91 years old. I have a dream that, God willing, I will be able to fulfill one day, as I currently don't have the financial means to do so, which is to build a small chapel, in honor of Saint Joseph and the Suffrage of Souls in Purgatory.

Such an amazing chapel, Even in the state it is in right now. All the colours are so beautiful

The nard is rather part of the hispanic iconography, which makes sense at Lalande, as the Marquis de Pouget de Nadaillac live in the Quercy, an ancient French province which at the same time corresponds to the old diocese of Cahors. Since 2016 it‘s part of the région Occitanie, which were the régions Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées, both bordering on Andorra and Spain in the Pyrenees.

You are really BLESSED to have all that history of the chapel at you finger tips! Thanks for sharing your Beautiful Chapel with us! LOVE from Chicago

Yes, your mural fits right with the death of Saint Joseph.

I think you're doing the right thing restoring the mural to it's original state, look what happened to it over the last 152 years, just imagine what it would look like in another 152 years if you didn't?! Perhaps someone else will restore it again then, just like you did, wouldn't that be amazing! (another thing about Lily of the Valley is that it's the Hebrew meaning of Susannah, which is my name too! :) )

Those doors gave me chills!! That drawing looks brand new!! I enjoyed this so much!!

What a lovely way to spend half an hour. So interesting. I’m sure your chapel will be stunningly restored under your custodianship. Lalende is lucky to have you Stephanie. 💕

The frog is sometimes used as a symbol of the devil just like the snake. It's very common for the devil to be represented as you enter a church, as a reminder to the Christian of what can happen to us if we fail to love God and serve others with love. Making the door handle the 'devil' is kinda clever every time you enter the chapel you would always have to think am I good christians? Did you find out any more about your alter stone in your attic

Gargoyles and similar decorations are also often used to "ward off" the evil, so maybe the frogs share that capacity?

".... but the Nadaillacs had two castles...." I mean, seriously, two castles. It's like a David Sedaris essay. The chapel is breathtaking! So very exciting that you are able to move forward with the restoration! I laughed to see Selmar immediately down inside the heating tunnel. I also like to imagine Antoine would have gone in, and was perhaps vetoed by his parents. I'm going to revisit this video. I want to paint the wooodwork in my guest bedroom the gold and blue colors of the ceiling and altar.

What a innovative idea back in the day for under ground heating...wow.

I'm sure your grandma and great grandma would be so delighted and proud of you for bringing their holy water and statue to your chapel. You're so lucky to have such a beautiful chapel - as a Catholic, this would be a dream come true for me! Thank you for sharing.

I love the ceiling , it is the Firmament above us. Our glass dome where we are underneath and can not go beyond. Sweet !

How wonderful to see the chapel of Lalande in detail. It will be wonderful to watch it being fully restored.

So lovely to see you living your dream in your Chateau and that you equally have made it your home and share with us. I had no idea of the wonders of French chateaux until finding your channel. Thank you for the lovely education as well. Merci.

Superb tour of your beautiful chapel. I never realised before about the drape effect on the walls where it looks like fabric hanging. Such details and you have pointed them all out for us . We will all be delighted for you when they can start work on restoration of its beauty. 💗💗💗

So enjoyed this Vlog! What a Marvelous Chapel ! Truly a gem to be treasured! Chateau de Lalande could not be in better hands! The end surprise was quite wonderful! Percy did an awesome job refinishing those beautiful doors! Please give him our regards! We miss him !

Thank you for doing this. Light a candle for me so I can send support to Chateau Lalande and finally visit as tourist and volunteer. I couldn't sit around and be served by volunteers as much as I love restoring, cleaning, etc.

Would love a chapel on my property. This chapel is truly special. To see the water damage is awful. I'm getting a bit choked up! God bless you for your care of this holy place.

When we visited Limoges cathedral last year I was amazed to see the wall decorations painted like your chapel, I'd never seen that kind of decoration before seeing it one of your vlogs and then there it was all over the cathedral!!!

If you have an altar stone, it would be worth it to check with the local diocese to see if they have records about the chapel--the altar stone would have a relic of a saint in it, and is a very precious thing. They might be able to tell you who. Your mural is definitely the Death of St. Joseph. He is the saint who is the patron of having a holy death.

What is interesting of the under heating is that it is a technique dating back to Ancient Roman times, but it was a lost concept for a long time. So it's the first I've heard of the underground heating to exist AFTER Ancient Rome and before current times, so that could have an interesting history if there was more to research about that structure. And love the history of the Lily of the Valley, it's my birth flower so it's nice to have any fun facts about the lovely little beauties. ❤

What a wonderful and moving tour. The chapel is indeed in the best of hands. Your love for this wonderful building shines through this blog and I am sure you will restore it with the greatest of sensitivity

I think the 'under floor' heating is based on the heat-a-later concept. The cold air would be sucked in from those tubes you see, and expelled into the chapel. The firebox heat up the surrounding brick (maybe coal would be used?) and the exhaust would go up the chimney. What an amazing chapel! Thank you for presenting this!

As a Catholic I never heard about the lily of the valley tradition on may 1st, not realize that it is a Catholic tradition! thank yo for that.... also I did see a segment where your Mom is making a cross before cutting into the bread... my mother use to do that when I was a child... just realize it.... I am so grateful Stephanie...!!!

What a beautiful chapel you have and it would be nice to see this chapel restored to the glorious time again. ☺️

Re strawberry motif. In heraldry the coronet of a Marquis bears strawberry leaves (sans strawberrys). Perhaps this decorative element of the chapel is a leitmotif signifying most decoratively the rank of the owners. Another wonderful vlog Ms J.

Spectacular, Stephanie! I studied Medieval Studies in college and have always marveled at the engineering of medieval architecture, especially cathedrals. So lovely to see many of the same techniques employed at a smaller scale in your gorgeous chapel. It will be a sight to behold when it is restored. I cannot give much advice on the saint, but both Thérèse de Lisieux and Rita of Cascia are associated with roses. The former is perhaps too modern, while the latter normally has a visible head wound. I also wondered if the plaster work you identified as a stand might be a font? That was my first thought when I saw it. However, an alcove/niche is also possible, for a statue as you identified. Thank you for sharing!

Oh Stephanie this was so informative! How exciting finding the secret entrance for the heating of the chapel floor! I can only imagine what other secretive tunnels there are around the Chateau!!! One of my favourite vlogs! This has been a great journey following you & all your knowledge. You should write your own book about Chateau LaLande & the Marquee & get as many pictures far back of his family history! ❤️🇨🇦

How fascinating. I loved this video and all the others I have seen. I have a fraction of French ancestry and I did not know of the Lily of the Valley tradition. However I had gone to a garden center on May 1st and purchased a pot of these to plant beside my garden shed. Now they have even more meaning for me. I do not know what part of France my ancestor lived. What survived of the name in America was spelled different ways. Noe, Nuee, and Noau. His wife was a Du Mont.

I would say this was for me, probably the most beautiful video of all. Thank you xx

Wonderful timing Stephanie as the Church just celebrated the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker! Your grandmother in her love for Holy Mother Church must be so proud of you including the altar cloths etc she saved. Was the chapel de-consecrated or are the relics still embedded in the altar? Also there would have been an inside drain to the outside going into the ground from the sacristy to dispose of any water left over after the Mass. Has it been found? We attend a Traditional Mass in the US and we have learnt so much about the customs that were a part of Catholic worship for over a thousand plus years. There was nothing slip shod but so much attention to detail done in reverence to what The Mass deserves. So many young people today are coming back to this which is wonderful! Keep up the wonderful work we are following eagerly. Thank you so much.

Fantastic! My Nanna is also very religious. She lives beside a Norman tower house and I've been looking for the secret tunnel since i was small ... I need a cherry picker and a stone mason to help me!!!

I absolutely loved every bit of this video. The abundance of information and the beauty of the chapel overwhelms me. I'm on to watch the other video of the chapel. I love all of the statuary and all of the colorful décor. Thank you.

A truely modern archaeological treasure. As an ex-trustee of a historic buildings trust, one can see the lengthy processes in just getting the paintwork restored, not to mention the prep required for the surfaces and structures. Finding the old heating system is something one can marvel at. The dear Lord does truly work in mysterous ways. First Joan of Arc, next Stephanie Jarvis (minus the suit of armour and charger).

So amazing! Your great-grandmother being very devoted Catholic and now you have this lovely treasure - an entire chapel.

Wonder if there are 'copies' of the registration/building in the official archives of these various departments(?) Also, wondering what happened during WWI, WWII - if the chapel was being used for something else. A wonder that everything is so intact. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful treasures w/us.

So many amazing details in the chapel. Thank you for the tour. Love the personal touches. The extra candles, Mary and Lourdes Holy water from you great grandmother. Love Saint Lucy!! Know her well. She helped me with a semi recent eye surgery!🙏🏻😍

To come back to this video now, after such extensive restoration beginning, is breathtaking. I’m so glad it’s being brought back to life!!

Hello, I would say that the door knob is definitely not a frog. The Lamb of God ~ Yes! It reminds me of the sleeping lambs so commonly seen on children's gravestones of yore . . . pure and innocent. Lovely.

Please keep regular updates on the chapel!

I had the same statue of Mary - I won it at school in 6th class - there was a clearing of pieces and furniture for redecorating... I gave it to my grandfather because he prayed to Mother Mary every evening, after having/experiencing a vision of her after my grandmother passed away...
