Chapelle Saint-André du Fossat

Chapelle Saint-André du Fossat, Medieval chapel in Le Fossat, France.

Chapelle Saint-André du Fossat is a medieval chapel consisting of a nave and apse braced by two buttresses. The structure features a bell wall with an open bay and a circular window, topped with a tiled roof.

The building dates to the 12th century as part of the former diocese of Rieux. It fell into disrepair over time but underwent complete restoration in 2016, which returned it to its original medieval appearance.

The chapel holds meaning for the local community as a symbol of their medieval past and religious traditions. It reflects how small rural settlements maintained places of worship across generations.

The building sits in isolation over 1 kilometer north of the village, roughly 150 meters from the right bank of the Lèze river. It is best reached on foot, so wear sturdy shoes as the path crosses rural landscape.

The 2016 renovation fully restored the tiled roof while preserving the Romanesque character of the original structure. This careful restoration effort demonstrates how dedicated local groups work to save small heritage monuments from disappearing.
