Massiac - Sainte-Madeleine de Chalet

11 Oct 2021 63
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. The very most of the large medieval ceiling fresco is lost, but "Christ in Majesty" (Majestas Domini) is still recognizable in the mandorla.
