Origin and history
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Rose chapel, located in Pernes-les-Fontaines in the Vaucluse, is a 17th-century religious building built in 1628. Its circular architecture, marked by a unique apse and a double portal topped by a pediment, houses a niche decorated with a statuette. It owes its name to a mural depicting a Virgin with rose, emblematic of its historical identity.
Originally, the chapel served as a meeting place for the brotherhood of local weavers and cardors, reflecting its anchoring in the artisanal life of the region. Since 29 September 1928, it has been part of the historical monuments, and it bears witness to the importance of religious buildings in the social and professional organization of Provencal communities in the 17th century.
Today, the chapel remains a communal heritage, open to visit, and symbolizes the link between spirituality, crafts and architecture in the Provence of the Great Century. Its official protection underscores its historical and cultural value, while preserving its role in the urban landscape of Pernes-les-Fontaines.
