Chapelle Notre-Dame de Spéluque, Religious monument in Ampus, France.
The chapel features a single nave with a semi-circular vaulted choir, constructed with local stone following Romanesque architectural principles.
Built around 1090, the chapel served as a priory of Lérins Abbey until the French Revolution when it was sold as national property.
The name Spéluque derives from North Provençal 'espeluca', meaning cave, indicating the location's connection to ancient worship practices.
Sunday masses occur at 11:00, with access through an 8-kilometer marked trail starting from Ampus town hall.
The chapel contains a pentapodal altar from the 11th century and stained glass windows depicting Notre Dame from the 14th century.
