Courvières - Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs

Chapelle N.D. des Sept-Douleurs de Courvières - Pmau/Commons

This small building is located in the fields outside the village, without a real access road. It would be located near an old cemetery where plague victims would have been buried. Its structure consists of a single nave, barrel vaulted, preceded by a porch topped with a pinnacle.
Inside, a painted wooden altarpiece: the flat altarpiece is framed by two columns supporting a cornice and an arched pediment; the altar, shaped like a tomb and framed by two statues (Saint Joseph and Saint Roch), is adorned by a relief decoration representing Our Lady of Seven Sorrows.
The whole is dated from the 17th century and was restored in the 20th century.
