The Chapel dedicated
to St Christopher |
The chapel is next
to the castle and draws the eye
with its beautifully curved roof.
The first chapel was built on the same spot around 1200 (1231?) and was
dedicated to St.Christopher as is today’s erected at the end
of the XVIth century. It is completely circular.
The interior decoration was completed in the XVIIth
century with angel musicians and draped flowers in sculpted wood. The
stained glass is modern and portrays the Virtues.
The two successive chapels are renowned for the series of lawsuits that
took place owing to disputes between the different owners and the cure
at Radepont concerning the tithes beginning in 1231 and only coming to
an end with the Revolution!
The chapel is listed by the French "Monuments Historiques",
and protected as such.
