Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Voirons de Boëge, Neoclassical chapel in Boëge, France.
The chapel stands at 1,370 meters above sea level on the ridges of Voirons mountains, providing views of the Chablais mountain range.
The current chapel was constructed in 1863 under François-Antoine Dumont's supervision, replacing an earlier structure that burned down in 1768.
The chapel houses the venerated Black Virgin statue, brought back by a Savoyard knight from the crusades and authorized for worship in 1456.
The chapel opens daily from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM except Mondays and Sundays, with free admission for all visitors throughout the year.
According to regional tales, a man who attempted to destroy the Virgin statue suffered a physical condition known as 'twisted neck'.
