Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz, Religious sanctuary on Saint-Cado islet in Belz, France
The stone chapel stands on a small island in the Etel River, connected to the mainland by a 300-foot causeway.
Benedictine monks from Quimperlé took possession of Saint Cado's hermitage in 1089 and transformed it into a priory with this chapel.
The chapel contains a stone bed known as Saint Cado's Bed, where people with hearing problems lie down seeking healing through contact.
The chapel requires significant restoration work scheduled for 2025, focusing on repairing the slate roof and addressing moisture damage to walls.
The building features a semicircular apse with decorated capitals, discovered Roman columns, and a 16th-century western door framed by buttresses.
