Église Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers de Saumur, Royal chapel in Saumur, France
The Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers features a circular rotunda within a square base, with deep niches forming chapels in each corner of the structure.
Construction of the chapel began in 1534, and in 1614 it received royal status when the Oratorian Fathers took responsibility for its management.
The chapel stands as a primary example of Counter-Reformation architecture from the 17th century, with its dome reaching thirty meters in height.
Visitors can access the chapel daily except Sunday mornings, with opening hours from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
The chapel originated from a farmer's discovery of a Virgin Mary statue while plowing his field in the 16th century.
