Chapelle des Marins, Medieval chapel in Gatteville-le-Phare, France.
The Chapelle des Marins features a semicircular apse with small rounded arches and limestone zoomorphic corbels characteristic of Romanesque architecture.
The chapel, constructed in the 11th century, contains wall paintings from that period and witnessed the Blanche-Nef shipwreck on the Quillebœuf rock in 1120.
Local sailors protected two significant statues during the French Revolution by hiding one in a well and burying another under the Saint-Pierre church bell tower.
The religious monument, located next to the parish church, received official historical monument designation through a governmental order in March 1975.
The chapel houses a memorial stone documenting the 1860 shipwreck of La Luna, an American three-masted vessel that resulted in numerous regional casualties.
