Chapel of St. Aurelianus, Limoges, Religious chapel in La Boucherie district, Limoges, France

The fifteenth-century Chapel of St. Aurelianus features an onion dome covered with chestnut tree shingles and contains numerous religious statues from different periods.

The chapel was constructed in 1471 to preserve the relics of Saint Aurelianus, which were transferred from the deteriorated Church of St. Cessateur.

The Brotherhood of Saint-Aurélien, a society of Limoges butchers, has maintained ownership and supervision of the chapel since the French Revolution.

The chapel requires extensive restoration work, scheduled to begin in October 2024, following comprehensive structural studies and fundraising campaigns.

This religious structure contains a baroque altarpiece displaying a Transfiguration painting and houses a shrine dedicated to Saint Aurelianus.
