Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Salut de Fécamp

The Notre-Dame-du-Salut chapel features buttresses from the 13th century and windows with three mullions decorated with geometric patterns and roses.

The chapel survived the French Revolution due to a National Assembly decree on August 6, 1792, preserving its architectural and religious heritage.

The walls display forty maritime ex-votos and a fresco depicting a shipwreck scene, illustrating the deep connection between local sailors and religion.

Located on Cape Fagnet, visitors can access the chapel daily to explore both its interior features and the open-air nave section.

The bell tower, rebuilt after World War II damage in 1942, displays a golden statue of Virgin and Child donated by a local shipowner.
