Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Riquier d'Héricourt-en-Caux is a Catholic building located in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy. It replaces a first chapel dated the 12th and 16th centuries, but the present building is rebuilt around 1715. This monument, made of stone and flint, features a cul-de-four bedside and houses three remarkable statues: a Virgin with Child, a Saint Gilles and a Saint Riquier, his patron.

The chapel was restored in 1824, before being listed as a historical monument by order of 12 November 1934. Owned by the commune, it bears witness to the local architectural and religious evolution, between medieval heritage and transformations of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its heritage inscription underscores its historical and artistic importance in the Norman landscape.

The sources available, notably Le Patrimoine des Communes de la Seine-Maritime (1997), confirm its role in regional religious heritage. The chapel is also referenced in the Mérimée and Clochers bases of France, which attests to its institutional recognition. Its approximate address, 36 Rue de Saint-Riquier, allows to locate it precisely in the commune.
