Origin and history

The chapel Notre-Dame-de-la-Charité du Moule is a religious monument located in the commune of Moule. The available sources do not specify its construction period or its detailed history, thus limiting information to its current existence and location. Chapels of this type, often linked to local devotional practices, played a central role in the spiritual and community life of the inhabitants.

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, as elsewhere, these buildings served as gathering places for religious holidays, pilgrimages or moments of collective prayer. Their architecture and location generally reflected the needs and beliefs of surrounding populations.
