Chapel
in Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare
-
On the banks of the Casselouvre, a tributary of the Mare, the charming Saint-Barthélemy Chapel stands next to one of the city’s cemeteries.
Saint Bartholomew, who ministered in the Near and Middle East, is the patron saint of butchers, shoemakers, and tanners.
With its slate roof, cobblestone porch, dry-stone floor, and outdoor holy water font, the chapel dates from the early 18th century, as it was consecrated in 1706. It was completely restored in 2003.
