Saint Quirin Chapel

Saint Quirin Chapel is a troglodyte place of worship built into the sandstone cliffs of the Pétrusse Valley. While the site has religious roots dating to the Gallo-Roman era, the current stone façade and bell tower were completed in 1355.

Cave Architecture

The interior is formed by natural caves in the rock face. In the 14th century, the Gothic frontage was added to create a formal chapel. It remains one of the few examples of this rock-cut style in the Guttland. The interior contains 19th-century woodwork and a small altar set against the raw stone walls.

The Natural Spring

A spring flows from the cliff next to the chapel into a stone basin. Throughout the Middle Ages, pilgrims visited the site believing the water could cure eye and skin ailments. Today, the chapel is accessed exclusively via the footpaths of the Pétrusse Valley.
