Chapelle de la Capelette de Castries, Religious chapel in Castries, France

The Capelette Chapel stands near the aqueduct of Castries, featuring a stone construction with a prominent dome structure above the main chamber.

The chapel emerged in the 18th century when a family transformed a shepherd's shelter into a religious building after finding refuge during a storm.

This religious structure exhibits the architectural characteristics of rural Occitan chapels, incorporating local stone building techniques and regional design elements.

Visitors can access the chapel by following Petit Chemin Sous les Pins, located in proximity to the monumental aqueduct of Castries.

The chapel contains an empty niche that once housed a statue of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by unadorned stone walls.
