Origin and history
The Sainte-Suzanne chapel of Sottevast is a Catholic building located in the Manche department of Normandy. Built in the 15th century, it is 700 metres southwest of the parish church of Saint-Hermeland, in the municipality of Sottevast. This monument is part of a local religious heritage marked by its monastic history.
The chapel was initially integrated into a monastery under the Sainte-Trinité Abbey of Lessay, an influential religious establishment in the region. Its architecture and history reflect the close links between monastic communities and local parishes in the Middle Ages. The building was listed as historic monuments on July 30, 1973, recognizing its heritage value.
Today, the chapel of Sainte-Suzanne remains a testimony of the Christian and architectural heritage of Lower Normandy. Although its current use is not specified in the sources, its inscription among historical monuments underlines its importance for collective memory and regional heritage.
