Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Roch de Lanslevillard is a religious monument located in the municipality of Lanslevillard. The available sources do not specify its construction period or the exact circumstances of its construction. His name suggests a connection with Saint Roch, often invoked against epidemics, but no information confirms this hypothesis for this specific place.

Chapels of this type, frequent in rural and mountainous areas such as Maurienne, often served as secondary places of worship for local communities. They could also play a role in processes or gatherings related to religious holidays. In the absence of detailed historical data, it is difficult to determine whether this chapel had a particular function or whether it was associated with significant events for Lanslevillard.
