Origin and history
The Sainte-Ursule Chapel is a Catholic chapel located in Beaubec-la-Rosière, in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy. Built in the 13th century, it represents one of the few preserved remains of the abbey of Beaubec-la-Rosière, a religious complex that is now extinct. The abbey, sold as a national property after the French Revolution, was almost completely destroyed, leaving this chapel as a witness to its past.
The building was listed as historic monuments by order of November 24, 1926, recognizing its heritage value. The chapel is located at the site of the former abbey, whose approximate address is 5144 A Ancienne Abbaye de Beaubec. Its architecture and history reflect the importance of medieval abbeys in the region, as well as the upheavals associated with the sale of national goods.
No information is available on historical characters related to its construction or use. The sources mention only its present status as a protected monument and its role as a vestige of the disappeared abbey. The chapel is referenced in the Mérimée and Religious Heritage bases, confirming its architectural and historical interest.
