The Chapelle le Vègre is a historic chapel dedicated to Saint Jacques, patron saint of pilgrims. It was built at the beginning of the 17th century by two local men who were returning from their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The chapel is located on a hill overlooking Lake Gruyère and the mountains, and is surrounded by nature. You can visit the chapel and admire its baroque altarpiece and its statues, carved from walnut wood by a local artist. The chapel is also a stop on the Chemins de Santiago, a network of hiking trails that follow the ancient routes of pilgrims.
