From very humble beginnings, a significant sanctuary with a very unusual patronage has emerged in La Chapelle-Montligeon, one I've never encountered anywhere else: The church here, with the papal distinction of "Basilica Minor," is not one of the usual churches dedicated to Our Lady, but rather specifically to "Our Lady, the Liberator of Souls in Purgatory." The present pilgrimage church was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, as the previous building had become far too small for the pilgrims who came here.

This church is Romanesque in style (12th or 13th century) and was renovated during the Gothic period. Thus, on one side of the nave, there are semicircular arches and on the other, pointed arches. The bell tower dates from the 18th century. The church has a massed plan. The chevet is flat. The sacristy is attached to the chevet. The square bell tower, topped with an octagonal dome, is located on the south facade. On one side of the nave, there are bays. The portal opens under the bell tower. It is decorated with an ogee arch and a coat of arms.

11th Century Church Worship was abolished in the parish of Chevain. The church was sold for 31,700 livres to the citizen of Villeray on 6 Vendémiaire, Year VII (September 27, 1799). The Chevain church, having been donated by Madame du Hameau de Villeray to the commune by notarial deed dated April 16, 1827, was restored to worship there on January 15, 1827. The parish was established as a branch parish.
