Massiac - Sainte-Madeleine de Chalet

The Romanesque chapel from the 12th century was built on the edge of a basalt spur overlooking the Alagnon valley and the town of Massiac. It got the "Chalet" in its name from a nearby village.

The Lords of Mercœur had a feudal castle on this strategic position and the chapel was once part of that complex. It actually opened to the courtyard of the castle.
