Notre-Dame de l'Ortiguière (Revest du Bion)

France

Notre-Dame de l'Ortiguière is a rural chapel located in the commune of Revest-du-Bion, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. Built in the 13th century, it was destroyed on two occasions. Of the original Romanesque structure, only four consoles in the shape of Atlante heads remain, which archaeologists have associated with Scandinavian influences. From the 17th century onward, the chapel functioned as a sanctuary of respite.
