Église Notre-Dame-de-Pitié de La Chapelle-Saint-Laurent
Église Notre-Dame-de-Pitié de La Chapelle-Saint-Laurent, Minor basilica in La Chapelle-Saint-Laurent, France.
The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié basilica stands on a ridge line, built in granite with a Latin cross plan measuring 65 meters in length.
Construction began in 1891 under architect Alcide Boutaud and concluded after World War I, transforming the original architectural design.
Since 1873, the sanctuary has drawn pilgrims who gather each September to venerate the statue of Notre-Dame de Pitié.
