Origin and history

The Sainte-Anastase Chapel of Sainte-Jalle is a religious monument built between the 12th and 13th centuries. Located in the commune of Sainte-Jalle, in the department of Drôme (26), it is representative of medieval architecture of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by decree of 21 December 1984 underlines its heritage importance and its preservation.

The location of the chapel, although documented in the Merimée base under the address "26110 Sainte-Jalle", remains approximate, with a geolocalized accuracy estimated at 7/10. This type of building, typical of medieval countryside, often served as a place of worship for local communities, while playing a central social and spiritual role. Chapels such as Sainte-Anastase were generally associated with daily religious practices, pilgrimages or community gatherings.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that the chapel is referred to as the "Former Chapel Saint Anastase" (Cadastre B 170). No additional information is provided on its current use, whether it is visit openings, rentals or other services. Its state of conservation and possible post-medieval transformations are not detailed in the archives consulted.
