Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde de Chinon, Romanesque chapel in Chinon, France
The Sainte-Radegonde Chapel features two naves, with one section completely carved into the rock face of a limestone cliff in the Loire Valley.
The chapel dates from the 11th century and contains the tomb of a religious hermit who established his retreat at this location during the 6th century.
The walls display extensive 12th-century murals, including a notable hunting scene that researchers associate with the Plantagenet dynasty.
Visitors can access the chapel from April through September, with daily openings during July and August from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The structure combines above-ground architecture with underground spaces, incorporating a natural spring that local traditions consider miraculous.
