Ermitage Notre-Dame de Font-Romeu, Baroque hermitage in Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via, France.

The Notre-Dame de Font-Romeu hermitage features ornate baroque architecture with three altarpieces and decorated walls within its 17th-century chapel structure.

Built at the location of an ancient miraculous fountain, the hermitage received its monument historique designation in 1928, protecting its historical features.

The chapel houses a 12th-century Romanesque gilded wooden sculpture of the Virgin Mary, created by Catalan artist Joseph Sunyer between 1704 and 1707.

Located one kilometer north of Font-Romeu town center, the hermitage remains accessible through departmental road 618 toward Bolquère.

Every September 8th, a traditional procession carries the Virgin statue to Odeillo church, where it stays until Trinity Sunday after Pentecost.
