Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Pitié et Lanterne des Morts

The Notre Dame de Pitié chapel, dating from the 17th century, and the lantern (11th or 12th century) are listed historic monuments.

The Notre Dame de Pitié chapel dates back to the 17th century and has been listed as a historic monument since 1926, as have the surrounding wall and cypress trees since 1946. It is located at the highest point of the cemetery. In the 17th century, the cemetery was established on a site where three Merovingian coffins were discovered.
The Lantern of the Dead, a turret leaning against the chapel, has been a listed monument since 1926. Its construction, well before that of the chapel (11th or 12th century), and its origin (religious or military) remain uncertain. The sum, pierced by narrow windows, contained a lamp.
