Chapelle de la Trinité de Prunet-et-Belpuig, Romanesque chapel in Prunet-et-Belpuig, France.
Chapelle de la Trinité is a Romanesque chapel with two naves of different widths, the northern one being larger, covered entirely by a stone vault. The structure maintains its medieval character with thick walls that define its compact interior space.
Originally called Saint-Pierre de la Serra, the building was consecrated by Bishop Riculf II of Elne in 953. This early founding established it as an important religious site in the medieval Pyrenean region.
The chapel's interior displays several baroque altarpieces that reveal how the building transformed across different periods. Visitors can still see traces of these various eras reflected in the decoration and wall details.
The chapel sits in a somewhat remote location and is accessible via road D618, which connects the Conflent and Vallespir regions. Visitors should note that the site is in a hilly area and sturdy footwear is advisable.
Restoration work uncovered ancient wall paintings that reveal the interior was once colorfully decorated and visually rich. These discoveries show that the chapel's current simple appearance masks its original ornate nature.
