Desloge Chapel is a Gothic church in St. Louis, Missouri. Located at Grand Avenue and Vista Avenue, it was designed by Gothic revivalist architect Ralph Adams Cram to echo the Sainte-Chapelle chapel in Paris.
Built in 1931-33 for the Firmin Desloge Hospital, now St. Louis University Medical Center, the chapel serves as an ecumenical pastoral chapel for the hospital complex, and is formally designated the Chapel of Christ the Crucified King by the Roman Catholic church within the Archdiocese of St. Louis.[1]
