Malleval Village

Highlight • Settlement

The village is almost entirely original. See, for example, the church, the old salt warehouse, the small castle, and also look for Maison du Pendu with horse bones protruding from the facade.

Calvary Chapel, Chavanay

Highlight • Religious Site

The Brotherhood of the White Penitents, owners of the Calvary Chapel, was founded in 1578 by the Capuchin Father Matias de Saladin. The Calvary Chapel was built in 1724. Unfortunately, the brotherhood was dissolved in 1777, and the chapel was abandoned.

Then, in 1844, the brotherhood reformed and raised the chapel from its ruins. Mass was celebrated there on May 3 and September 14. In addition, the penitents made a procession depicting the Passion every year on Maundy Thursday.

In 1892, the brotherhood ceased again, and the chapel remained abandoned until 2000. Finally, it was the Association of Friends of the Calvary Chapel that undertook to restore it with the help of the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela. The shell construction was completed in 2005, and the interior decoration in 2008.
To the left of the door there is a door opener for the pilgrims.
