Origin and history

The chapel of the Bernardines d'Orgelet is a religious building built in the 1st quarter of the 18th century, located in the commune of Orgelet, in the Jura department (39). This monument, whose exact address is the 10 Grande Rue, is now owned by the municipality. Its architecture reflects popular styles at the beginning of the Enlightenment, a period marked by artistic and religious renewal in the region.

The covered portal of the chapel has been protected under the Historical Monuments since a decree of 26 October 1927. This classification reflects the heritage value of this element, characteristic of the Burgundian-franc-comtois sacred art. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its local importance, although the accuracy of its location is considered fair (note 5/10).

The project manager identified for this monument is JANOLTI, whose exact role (architect, entrepreneur or craftsman) is not detailed in the archives consulted. The chapel is part of a historical context where religious buildings played a central role in community life, especially in small towns like Orgelet, then under the influence of spiritual reforms and post-classical architectural developments.
