ST-BAUDEL CHAPEL
In the 16th century, the S'-Serge and S'-Bach church in Pourraln proved insufficient to celebrate offices. The canons took charge of the reconstruction of the choir while that of the nave was the responsibility of the parishioners. The first stone was laid in 1540. It was necessary to find a new place of worship to celebrate the services.
The birth of the S'-Baudel Chapel therefore precedes the reconstruction of the choir of the church of Pourrain.
It served as a place of worship for nearly 60 years as the church choir was completed in 1599.
Inside, there is no sculpted decoration, except the beautiful arch of a swimming pool, but the richness of the painted vault is extremely surprising. The barrel vault is paneled, wood is not expensive in Puisaye. But this painted decoration: why have you made a rudimentary chapel if you wanted to incur such decoration costs?

The current bishop, François II de Dinteville, spent a number of years in Rome as ambassador to Francis I. When he returned to France, he brought with him Italian artists, in particular painters to whom he commissioned for the churches of his diocese.
We are at the time of the first Renaissance which inherits the flamboyant Gothic where everything was decoration: profusion, abundance, luxuriance...
When you push open the door of this chapel, you will be amazed...

The key is at your disposal at the town hall, during opening hours of the secretariat Place de la Mairie - Tel. 03 86 41 13 96
