Chapelle du Puy-Gauthreul, Medieval chapel in Saint-Savinien, France
The Puy-Gauthreul Chapel features a neo-Romanesque design with stones from regional quarries of Crazannes, Thénac, Jonzac, and Saint-Savinien.
Initially established in the second half of the 13th century, the original priory was entrusted to the monks of Saint-Savin de Taillebourg.
The chapel forms part of a larger complex that includes a cloister for gatherings and a fortified tower, serving religious and communal functions.
Access to the chapel requires following a public path through private woodland, located near departmental road D124 between Les Chaumes and Pontreau.
The current structure, initiated in 2010 by former gendarmerie colonel Jean-Michel Méchain, represents an ongoing reconstruction of the medieval priory.
