Origin and history
The Sainte-Anne Chapel, located in Triel-sur-Seine in the Yvelines, is the only preserved vestige of the old hospital buildings that occupied this site. Dating from the 1st quarter of the 12th century, it is distinguished by two Romanesque pillars decorated with tripartite capitals, exceptional in Île-de-France. The left capital has interlaces, while the right one has palmettes, a character spitting volutes and a stylized bird. These elements illustrate regional Romanesque art, rarely preserved in this region.
Classified as a Historic Monument since 2013, the chapel is fully protected, including its nave and choir separated by these pillars. Although private property, its architecture reflects the importance of medieval hospitals, often linked to religious or charitable foundations. The capitals, by their varied iconography (vegetal, animal, human), offer an overview of the artistic influences of the period, mixing traditional motifs and local creations.
The official address (53 Charles-Dupuy Street) and GPS coordinates suggest an approximate location, with an accuracy estimated at 6/10 depending on the sources. No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, rental, or accommodation), but its registration as a Historical Monument guarantees its conservation. The sources mention only its status as private property, without detail on its contemporary use.
