Origin and history

The Dix-Mille-Martyrs chapel in Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont is a religious building located in the Savoy department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This monument, whose exact address is 56 A Le Bourg, was partially protected: its façade was classified by decree on 29 April 1928. No other specific historical information is available from the sources consulted, particularly with respect to the construction period or sponsor.

Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, like many Alpine municipalities, has long been marked by a rural and pastoral economy. Local chapels, often modest, played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering and commemoration. Their architecture generally reflected available resources and local know-how, while integrating symbolic elements related to the Christian faith or regional traditions.
