Chapel of the XIIIth century, nicknamed chapel of apple trees with the fresco presenting apple trees of the Japanese Kyoji Tabuko who renovated it.

It owes its nickname of "chapel of the apple trees" to the fresco by Japanese artist Kyoji Tabuko, representing, it is given to you in a thousand, apple trees! This encounter with Japan saved the chapel from ruin. Built in the 13th century, rebuilt in the 15th, it was abandoned and closed to the public in 1983. In 1987, our Japanese artist, seduced by the beauty of the place, decided to renovate it, giving free rein to his inspiration. The result is astonishing and does not leave one indifferent.

Très joli

Perdue dans la campagne, cette chapelle est un bijou. Créée au 13ème siècle, puis remaniée au 15ème par la famille de Vanembras, elle a été restaurée au début des années 90 par un architecte japonais, Kyoji Takubo. A noter les tuiles en verre coloré qui donnent au toit un cachet unique, la charpente superbe ainsi que l’if de 600 ans planté à l’entrée qui protège les tombes du petit cimetière adjacent,

Chapelle datant du 13ème siècle entièrement restaurée par l'artiste japonais Kyoji Takubo. A voir par beau temps pour admirer les tuiles en verre de plusieurs couleurs. Ouvert en juillet, août et septembre jusqu'aux journées du patrimoine. Mérite un détour.
