Chapelle Notre-Dame d'Etang, Gothic chapel in Velars-sur-Ouche, France.

The monument à Notre-Dame d'Étang stands at the northern end of the montagne d'Étang, at 545 metres altitude. It consists of an octagonal chapel topped by a lantern tower that carries a colossal statue of the Virgin and Child. Built from 1877 to 1896 to plans by architect Édouard Mairet, it serves as a landmark for travellers reaching Dijon through the vallée de l'Ouche.

Built from 1877 to 1896 to designs by architect Édouard Mairet, the monument was funded entirely by private subscriptions. It was the initiative of Abbé Bernard Javelle (1832-1897), parish priest of Velars-sur-Ouche, at a time when the pilgrimage to Notre-Dame d'Étang drew large crowds. The chapel was inscribed on the supplementary inventory of monuments historiques on 22 January 1996.

The pilgrimage is documented since at least the 14th century; Duke Philip the Bold of Burgundy and his wife came in January 1372. The statue is carried in procession from the church of Velars to the mountain on 2 July, the feast of the Visitation and anniversary of its 1435 discovery, and on 8 September, a date set in 1865 for the Nativity of Mary. A confraternity founded in 1640 and revived in 1851 had 4,000 members in 1910.

The monument stands at the northern end of the Montagne d'Étang, at 545 metres, above Velars-sur-Ouche, about ten kilometres from Dijon; it is reached by road through the Ouche valley. The chapel is an octagonal building topped by a lantern tower, so look for the tower and the colossal Virgin and Child statue to orient yourself. The site belongs to the commune of Velars-sur-Ouche and was listed as a monument historique on 22 January 1996.
