Chapelle de Lugaut, Romanesque chapel in Retjons, France

The chapel features a nave built with rendered rubble stone, topped by a modern wooden frame extending to a square choir in regular stonework.

Originally under the Templars of Saint-Antoine de Gélonies, the chapel was damaged during the Wars of Religion, with only the apse surviving with its 14th-century murals.

The interior walls display a collection of 13th-century paintings arranged in two superimposed registers, representing the largest such collection in Aquitaine.

Visitors can access the chapel exterior year-round, while interior guided tours operate from 3 PM to 7 PM during summer months with advance reservations required.

Near the chapel stands the Devil's Hand, a sandstone rock marked with five engraved lines, connected to local religious folklore.
