Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Myans, Medieval church sanctuary in Myans, France
The sanctuary consists of two levels: a lower crypt containing the Black Madonna statue and an upper church with decorative marble and golden ornaments.
During the catastrophic landslide of Mount Granier in 1248, which caused 5000 deaths, the chapel remained standing while surrounding villages were destroyed.
The sanctuary walls display frescoes painted by Leon Raffin in 1936, depicting Savoyard saints and illustrating the Mount Granier landslide story.
Religious services take place daily with masses at 8:00, 11:00, and 18:00, while the sanctuary shop offers the region's largest selection of religious literature.
The church tower features a golden Virgin Mary statue and houses a carillon of 14 bells, installed in 1913 to mark religious celebrations.
