Chapelle Saint-Michel de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Fontaine-Guérard

The Saint-Michel Chapel, part of Notre-Dame de Fontaine-Guérard Abbey, features gothic architecture with large buttresses and an elongated floor plan.

Guillaume de Leon ordered the construction of this chapel in the 15th century as penance for the murder of his wife, Marie de Ferrières.

The chapel belongs to a Cistercian abbey founded in 1190, reflecting the rigorous architectural principles of this monastic order through its design.

Access to the chapel requires climbing a set of stairs that lead to the cellar area underneath the main structure.

The chapel stands near a spring that was considered to have healing properties, which influenced the initial location of the priory.
