OUR LADY OF THE GOSPEL CHAPEL

Located at the top of Pasteur Street, La Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Chabanne is a rural chapel, which benefits from calm and a green setting away from the city. His view dominates the town of Ussel. Built in the mid th century as a chamber, it is characterized by its large and massive walls surmounted by a large slate roof. His bell was the subject of three restorations: one in 1750, the other in the aftermath of the Second World War and the last in 1993. This religious building has a glazed dome painted in 169, the realization of which would be attributed to Jean Jaloustre, a painter from the nearby small town of Meymac (according to the Ussel tourist office). The ancient statue of the Virgin was destroyed in 1793. The stone sculpture of the Virgin to the Child, whose base is adorned with two bumble and Coquilles shells, dates back to the th century. The statue, now visible above the door, is a copy; The original was deposited at the Doubs Chapel (at the bottom of Pasteur Street).
