Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Antoine de Bonneval-sur-Arc is a religious monument located in the Alpine commune of Bonneval-sur-Arc in Savoie. This place of worship, whose location is considered fair (note 5/10), is an integral part of the historical and cultural landscape of this mountainous region. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 1 December 1980 bears witness to its heritage importance, although details of its construction or architectural development are not specified in the available sources.

Chapels of this type, often located in high mountain villages like Bonneval-sur-Arc, played a central role in community life. They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the religious and social traditions of the Alpine populations. In a context where agriculture, livestock and pastoral activities dominated the local economy, these buildings also marked the territory, providing a spiritual and identity landmark in an isolated geographical environment.
