Located at a place called Grange-Neuve, at the foot of the Grand-Côte forest massif, this chapel was built in 1861, taking over from a chapel already dedicated to Saint Théodule, called “de Villamont”, destroyed during the Revolution at the same time as the other buildings of the abbey of Mont-Sainte-Marie.
Of modest dimensions, it consists of a bell tower-porch, a nave, a choir and a small sacristy projecting outside the latter. Inside, three stained glass windows celebrate Saint Anthony, the education of the Virgin and, for that of the choir, the life of Saint Théodule, and in particular the two miracles attributed to him, a multiplication of grapes in Switzerland and the deliverance of a prisoner. Saint Théodule, patron saint of Valais winegrowers, is also celebrated by a statue and a painting.
