PENITENT CHAPEL
Go there and contact
Chapel among the emblematic places of Collonges-la-Rouge where the brotherhood had taken on the voluntary task of burying the dead
This Gothic-style chapel dates back to the 15th century. It was occupied for two centuries by the Pénitents Noirs brotherhood, dedicated to the salvation of souls: moral and material aid to prisoners, assistance to those condemned to death and to the sick. It was here that they took on the voluntary task of burying the dead. A small, soberly decorated building, the chapel is well worth a visit: admire its capitals, contemporary stained-glass windows and the 18th-century painting of Saint Bruno.
