Origin and history

The Notre-Dame-de-Santé chapel in Carcassonne, listed as a Historic Monument in 1932, is a religious building dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. She is directly connected to a hospital, with which she shares internal communication. Its architecture is distinguished by vaults with liernes and thirdons, characteristic of the flamboyant Gothic, resting on columns engaged without capitals. The three-part choir is lit by lancet windows, while an outdoor niche houses a statue of Our Lady of Health, protected by a dais adorned with archatures and surmounted by an arrow.

The current cover in hollow tiles has replaced or covered a paved terrace, once surrounded by a balustrade and flanked by now missing pinnacles. The chapel, owned by the municipality of Carcassonne, illustrates the integration between places of worship and medieval hospital structures. Its classification in 1932 highlights its heritage value, especially for its carved elements and its preserved architectural plan.

Located at 2 Rue des 3 Couronnes, its location is documented with geographical accuracy deemed to be satisfactory (level 6/10). Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a protected monument and its anchoring in the historical landscape of the Aude, in the Occitan region. No information is provided on its current accessibility or contemporary uses.
