La Cluse-et-Mijoux - Chapelle de Montpetot

In 2018 > Jérôme LEUBABat­tle­field 126

This small building is made up of a single nave, a gallery and a choir. A few steps and a gate separate the nave from the choir. While the nave is covered by a simple ceiling, a ribbed vault painted with historic motifs covers the choir, the walls of which are decorated with woodwork bearing numerous ex-votos.
In the choir, behind the altar, an altarpiece populated with cherubs and largely polychrome, takes up the classic architectural vocabulary. A statuette of the Virgin Mary is inserted in a niche in the central part of the altarpiece. Several statues stand in the nave and on the altarpiece.
The entire building is covered by a gable roof and a small bell tower surmounts the entrance.
