Tips

December 26, 2023

The western parts of the Ste-Marie-Madeleine chapel date back to the 12th century and were dedicated to the holy archmartyr Stephen. The nave is dated to 1416. At the beginning of the 16th century there was an expansion to the east in the Flamboyant Gothic style and the patronage changed to St. Mary Magdalene. At that time the chapel was the place of worship for a leprosy. Construction evidence suggests that the chapel was divided into two parts to isolate the priests from the lepers.

Above the west wall of the chapel there is a bell gable typical of the region. The end of the choir is adorned with a large late Gothic tracery window.
