Located in the northeast of the town, Madeleine was one of four lordships of Remungol and six fetes of the parish.
It seems that all the places called " Madeleine " or " the Clandy " home sick or " the Maladrie " were originally reserved for lepers and their descendants. Sainte Madeleine is also the patron saint of lepers with Saint Lazare.
The Magdalen chapel is ageless as it experienced interventions over the centuries. Situated a little away from Bourgerel and intended originally to the lepers and the rope-makers ( their descendants), however, it received a noble marriage in 1677.
In the aftermath of the revolution, it was restored as evidenced by an inscription on the lintel of the southern gate " Guguin Treasurer Mr. Forestier Rec 1806 Teur From Remungol... "
The pinnacle is the same type as that of St. Anne Building. Granite harps consolidate angles surrounding the semicircular portal. A small oculus opens in the pinion and adds a bit of light at the bedside of the single window. Here, two small twin bays each with a sketch trilobe inside a rectangular frame and recall the distant origin of the chapel, as the wall bench in the choir. No other opening than the southern gate Segmental lintel.
The interior has been renewed, the repointed masonry and oval barrel vault redone in polished wood, but retained the unusual mechanical paving bricks. A wooden fence marks the entrance of the choir, where the rectangular altar, very simple, with two tiers and his tabernacle, all in wood, leans against the wall of the apse. On the left, a cabinet is formed in the wall. Three statues flank the widely splayed window eminence in a holy Bishop, wearing screed over a dalmatic, said to be Saint-Maurice ; Gospel side, Saint-Hubert, miter, holding right hand an open book and standing atop a deer, probably to protect it ; Epistle side, Our Lady of Grace, a little steep virgin, who supports her child's left hand.
Sainte Madeleine, patron saint of the chapel, was placed under a wooden canopy. She holds with both hands the bottle of holy oils to cleanse repentant and protect the healthy assets. All these statues are wooden and the Guardian Angel, dazzling whiteness of the plaster, only seems more solitary.
The forgiveness of the chapel is celebrated on the third Sunday of July, near the Sainte-Madeleine (12 July).
