Heritage classified

Chapel of the cemetery: inscription by decree of 2 November 1926

Origin and history

The chapel of the cemetery of Lançon-Provence is a 12th century religious building. Located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, it is representative of medieval Provencal architecture. Its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 2 November 1926 bears witness to its heritage value.

The location of the chapel, near the cemetery, suggests a central role in the funeral and religious practices of the local community. Its state of conservation and geographical accuracy, considered to be satisfactory a priori, make it possible to envisage a more in-depth study of its history.

The chapel now belongs to the municipality of Lançon-Provence, which implies public management of this heritage. Although its access (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources, its protected status guarantees its preservation for future generations.
