Dan Brown is rather vague on the matter in ‘The da Vinci Code’.
All that seems clear is that the Druids are still busy "sacrificing"/robbing/ "exchanging", including the traders at the New York Stock Exchange.
Did you see the well-heeled people in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’?
‘The da Vinci Code’ does not tell us enough about the doctrine of the Cult of the Excommunicated Monks of Robert the Bruce, including its yin and yang Gnostic ideology, where good and bad have to always be kept in equal amounts and proportion.
It does not tell us enough about the human "sacrifice" that still goes on among the Freemasons, or "stonecutters".

Do you think it’s pretty? Do you think people will immediately tie it to the Da Vinci Code book? How easy would it be to find a woman that wants to get pregnant right now?
the Name sounds good for a girl.
But as for a woman volunteering for pregnancy right NOW,
How are you gonna get it done anyway?!
It is certainly likely that at one time it was used to hide knowledge or treasure of the Templar Knights, but not any more. It is much more likely anything has long since been moved on, but any chambers/rooms/etc underneath the Church would show that the possibility that there was SOMETHING there at one time. The fact that they are refusing to allow anyone to search or use non invasive techniques to prove theories is telling within itself.
There are many, a lot of them revolving around its architecture, which has a lot of pagan and symbolic images carved into a supposedly Christian Church.
The "Apprentice Pillar", or "Prentice Pillar", gets its name from an 18th century legend involving the master mason in charge of the stonework in the chapel and his young apprentice. According to the legend, the master mason did not believe that the apprentice could perform the complicated task of carving the column, without seeing the original which formed the inspiration for the design. The master mason travelled to see the original himself, but upon his return was enraged to find that the upstart apprentice had completed the column anyway. In a fit of jealous anger the mason took up his mallet and struck the apprentice on the head, killing him. As punishment for his crime the master mason’s face was carved into the opposite corner to forever gaze upon his apprentice’s pillar.On the architrave joining the pillar, there is the inscription Forte est vinum fortior est rex fortiores sunt mulieres super omnia vincit veritas: "Wine is strong, a king is stronger, women are stronger still, but truth conquers all".
Among Rosslyn’s many intricate carvings are a sequence of 213 cubes or boxes protruding from pillars and arches with a selection of patterns on them. It is unknown whether these patterns have any particular meaning attached to them — many people have attempted to find information coded into them, but no interpretation has yet proven conclusive.
One recent attempt to make sense of the boxes has been to interpret them as a musical score. The motifs on the boxes somewhat resemble geometric patterns seen in the study of cymatics. The patterns are formed by placing powder upon a flat surface and vibrating the surface at different frequencies. By matching these Chladni patterns with musical notes corresponding to the same frequencies,
Another notable feature of Rosslyn’s architecture is the presence of ‘Green Men’. These are carvings of human faces with greenery all around them, often growing out of their mouths. They are commonly thought to be a symbol of rebirth or fertility, pre-Christian in origin. In Rosslyn they are found in all areas of the chapel, with one excellent example in the Lady Chapel, between the two middle altars of the east wall. The green men in Rosslyn symbolise the months of the year in progression from East to West in the Chapel. Young faces are seen in the East symbolising Spring and as we progress towards the setting sun in the West the carvings age as in Autumn of man’s years. There are in excess of 110 carvings of Green men in and around the Chapel.
The most famous myth however is that it is a repository for either the Holy Grail, or the treasure of the Knights Templar.

Would you want to live there? good place? bad?
If you’re talking about the part of Rosslyn near TJ Jester & 43rd, meaning the neighborhoods of Oak Forest, Candlelight Estates, Shepherd Park Plaza, Candlelight Plaza and Garden Oaks, that’s not a bad area at all.
Out at North Rosslyn, not so great!!!
Panama Joe should be advised that the Rosslyn Chapel is in Scotland, not France.
It is the Collegiate Church of St Matthew at Roslin, Midlothian and the crypt was the burial place for several generations of the Sinclair family who founded the church and later came to bear the title Earl of Rosslyn. The 2nd Earl’s wish to be buried in the original crypt could not be fulfilled as the entrance could no longer be located. The Sinclairs are associated with Freemasonry and this connection is likely behind the unusual carvings for which the Chapel is famous.
The name Roslin/Rosslyn echoes the ‘Rose Line’ ideas and the connections with Freemasonry (and thence with Templars) lead naturally to such suppositions and to hoaxes (such as that perpetrated by the self proclaimed ‘Priory of Sion’ in 1958) regarding what may lie beneath.
Christianity was an all powerful religion at the time, even though it was a fusion of many previous beliefs, and it was possible that the Knights Templar when building/commissioning the Church built in the pagan etc symbology to show that the Catholic Church was not the ruling power there, and it is also possible that hidden messages were designed into the meanings behind the carvings.
