Origin and history

The Notre-Dame-des-Grâces chapel in Jarrier is a religious building built in the first half of the 18th century. Located in the hamlet of Cheloup, on the town of Jarrier (Savoie), it is representative of the rural religious architecture of this period in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The monument, including an adjacent monumental cross, was classified as a Historic Monument by order of 28 February 1992, thereby recognizing its heritage value.

The official address recorded in the Merimée base is Hameau de Cheloup, 73300 Jarrier, although a GPS approximation locates it under the name 5345 Notre-Dame. The chapel belongs to the commune and its location is considered satisfactory a priori (note 6/10). No specific information is available on its current use (visits, rentals, etc.), but its ranking suggests active protection of its integrity.

The historical context of its construction is a time when rural chapels played a central role in the spiritual and community life of Savoyard villages. These buildings, often set up at the initiative of parishes or local donors, served as places of pilgrimage, collective prayers and gatherings for religious holidays. The presence of a associated monumental cross reinforces its sacred and memorial character, typical of Alpine Catholic traditions.
