Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Elzéar de Montfuron is a Romanesque religious building located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. Although its exact date is controversial among historians, it is partly attributed to the thirteenth century, with subsequent additions confirmed in the seventeenth century. Its architecture thus reflects centuries of history, mixing medieval elements with more recent changes.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 9 July 1981, this chapel illustrates the importance of religious heritage in the region. Today, it has been converted into a communal hall, reflecting a modern adaptation of its use while maintaining its protected status. Its location in Montfuron, a Provencal village, makes it a key element of local heritage.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its historical and contemporary role. Owned by the municipality, it is mentioned in the Mérimée database under the code INSEE 04128, confirming its administrative and cultural anchor in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Its present state and its openness to the public are not specified, but its ranking guarantees its preservation.
