Chapelle Sainte-Apolline de Brianny

The chapel features a rectangular nave with a flat chevet, illuminated by three narrow semicircular windows and topped by a square bell tower.

First mentioned in 1145, the structure began as an ossuary under the jurisdiction of Montigny-sur-Armançon before transforming into a chapel in the late 18th century.

The chapel contains wall paintings from the 16th century depicting thirty-two pairs of living and deceased individuals across all interior surfaces.

Visitors must obtain keys from the town hall at 1 rue de Braux during office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays to access the chapel.

The dance macabre murals present 29 pairs of characters, with an equal distribution between male and female figures throughout the artwork.
