Chapelle Notre-Dame d'Etang, Gothic chapel in Velars-sur-Ouche, France.
The Notre-Dame d'Etang Chapel features an octagonal structure with a dome supported by a lantern tower and crowned by an 8-meter-high Virgin and Child statue.
The original chapel dates from 1435 following the discovery of a miraculous Virgin statue, while the current structure was built between 1876 and 1896.
The chapel maintains a strong religious tradition as a Marian pilgrimage site since 1371, with pilgrimages continuing after a revival in 1872.
Visitors can access the chapel from June to September on Sunday afternoons, with free entry at 6 rue de la Verrerie in Velars-sur-Ouche.
The golden statue at the top weighs 10 tons and required a supporting column running from the ground to the dome summit for structural stability.
