Chapelle de Notre Dame de Beaurevers

The Notre-Dame-de-Beaurevers chapel is one of the main sanctuaries in Savoie dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Legend has it that it was built by the Virgin's wish and that the materials were placed there by themselves. The oratory built in 1628 was rebuilt a few metres away in 1766-1768, as it was a sanctuary with a respite* that attracted many faithful from 1761.
As large as a church, the new chapel has a façade sheltered by an overhanging roof.
A Pieta welcomes pilgrims with this inscription: "O you who pass by, consider if there is any pain like my pain".
Inside, the trompe-l'oeil decoration is the work of Italian painters from the 19th century. The iconographic programme, which is particularly rich in the drum of the dome, develops eight episodes from the life of the Virgin. The baroque altarpiece on the high altar was reinterpreted by the Gilardi brothers in 1881.
