Chapelle du château de Montépin, Chapel on a castle estate in Bâgé-Dommartin, France

The chapelle du château de Montépin is a small chapel within the grounds of the Montépin estate in Bâgé-Dommartin, France. It has plain stone walls and a modest roof, and stands beside the castle and a washhouse, all built around 1885.

The land of Montépin passed through the Aymon family and was linked to the Knights Templar in the 13th century. The chapel itself was built around 1885, during a renovation of the whole property that also produced the castle and the washhouse standing beside it.

The chapel was part of daily life on the estate, serving both the castle's residents and nearby villagers as a place of worship. Its plain interior shows it was built for everyday prayer rather than ceremony or display.

The chapel and the castle are on private property, so the interior is not normally open to visitors. Walking around the outside of the grounds gives a good sense of the overall layout and the character of the estate.

The chapel and the estate's washhouse were both built around 1885 during the same renovation of the Montépin property. The two small buildings stand close together in the grounds, so a single walk past them shows the worship space and the laundry space of the late 19th-century estate side by side.
