Plaincourault Chapel

Plaincourault Chapel is a 12th-century chapel of the Knights Hospitaller in Mérigny, Indre, France.

[1] The structure, which is located next to the Château de Plaincourault, suffered extensive damage during the French Revolution and was abandoned in 1793.

It was declared a historical monument in 1944, but was not restored until the Parc naturel régional de la Brenne took ownership of the property in 1994.

[2] The chapel is famous for its unusual Romanesque art, particularly its Christian frescoes.

[3][4] As part of the Château de Plaincourault complex, it is designated by the French Ministry of Culture as a monument historique.
