Chapel of the Grey Penitents, Religious chapel in Aigues-Mortes, France.
The chapel contains a rectangular nave with a central altarpiece depicting the Passion of Christ and an altar made of white Carrara marble.
Built in the 14th century, the chapel underwent reconstruction in 1607 following the Wars of Religion and received consecration in 1611.
The Grey Penitents Brotherhood maintained this chapel since the late 14th century, dedicating their service to supporting the sick and needy.
The chapel requires restoration work to address water infiltration issues affecting the altarpiece and choir floor structures.
Two reliquaries added to the main altar in 1815 replace the original ones destroyed during the French Revolution.
