Chapelle de Bermont, Gothic chapel in Greux, France
Chapelle de Bermont is a Gothic chapel built on a wooded plateau that overlooks the Meuse valley in northeastern France. The structure features a single nave with a bay and an elevated square choir, all constructed from stone.
Benedictine monks from the abbey of Bourgueil founded the chapel in the 11th century and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary and Saint Thibaut of Provins. It remained a site of religious devotion throughout the medieval period.
Joan of Arc visited the chapel every Saturday to light candles and pray, making it a significant location in her spiritual development.
The chapel can be reached by a small road leading from the village of Greux and stands elevated on the plateau. Access to the interior may be arranged through contact with local religious authorities, as it is a protected monument.
The chapel contains 15th-century wall paintings that were discovered and studied before the site received its protected status in 1998. These frescoes show religious imagery that reflects the chapel's role as a place of pilgrimage.
