Notre-Dame-du-Mûrier, Gothic chapel ruins in Batz-sur-Mer, France.
Description
Notre-Dame-du-Mûrier is a ruined Gothic chapel in Batz-sur-Mer on the French coast. The building measures about 27 meters long and 17 meters wide, standing near the parish church of Saint-Guénolé.
History
The chapel was built in the 15th century by the residents of Batz-sur-Mer and completed in 1496, built in gratitude for surviving a plague epidemic. The building was classified as a historical monument in 1862.
Culture
The chapel's name comes from a mulberry tree and it now serves as a space for concerts and art exhibitions. Visitors experience the medieval stone structure that remains an important gathering place for cultural events in the village.
Practical
The site is freely accessible and can be explored via an interpretation trail, with an activity map available at the tourist office. A visit works best if you allow time to walk through the ruins and read the information panels.
Did you know?
A hurricane stripped the roof off in 1819, turning the chapel into the ruins we see today, and its slate stones were later reused to repair the nearby parish church. This disaster shaped the building's current appearance and created a shared history between the two structures.
