THE CHAPEL
Go there and contact
In the inventory of historic monuments, Villeneuvette chapel was built by the Protestant clerical clerks who founded the Manufacture in 1674. According to some descriptions, it was a building of 7 meters per 15, oriented east. In 1740, the building was enlarged by Guillaume IV Castanier of Auriac, the first Catholic fabricator in Villeneuvette. The chapel retains a painted decor dated 1870 and signed by the painter Pauthe. It shows an iconography and inscriptions related to the paternalistic doctrine of Le Play, applied to Villeneuvette: representation of an archangel «materialism and atheism», and the inscription «God blessed the work», echoing the spirit of the motto of the gate of entry of the factory.
