Église Notre-Dame-des-Oubiels, Historic church ruins in Portel-des-Corbières, France.
The stone ruins of Notre-Dame-des-Oubiels display a pentagonal apse, remaining chapel walls, and a bell tower one kilometer west of the village.
Built between 1285 and 1310 under Charles II of Sicily's patronage, the church received monument status classification from French authorities in 1973.
The name Oubiels refers to lambs, reflected in the sculpted key of the choir vault, connecting the church to the region's sheep farming traditions.
Visitors can access the church ruins through marked paths from Portel-des-Corbières, with information available at the Narbonnaise Mediterranean Regional Nature Park office.
The sanctuary contained a double piscina within one of its two niches, an uncommon architectural feature in medieval French churches.
