Visit the chapel - A witness to history
This Romanesque chapel, rebuilt in 1104 on the remains of a Carolingian church partially destroyed in 865, is a veritable history book.
Its architecture consists of three naves, two absidioles and an apse, following a plan reminiscent of Antiquity: square pillars, absence of columns and sculptures, rectangular doors. The facade retains some granite stones from the XIᵉ century, while the rest (a copy of the belfry-façade) dates from 1842. The crenellated keep was added in 1870.
This church had an eventful past:
Close to the Sabart cave (home to counterfeiters around 1200).
Used as a prison in 1345.
Burnt down in 1568.
Den of brigands until 1624.
Peace was not restored until 1876, when it became a diocesan seminary.
Even today, its history continues to be written: the fervor that surrounds the Notre-Dame pilgrimage on September 8 is still alive and well. Visitors can admire a wooden statue of the Virgin from the XIVᵉ century and fragments of stained glass from the XIIIᵉ century.
