What stands there

1 statuette of the Virgin, hidden then rediscovered in 1656

According to tradition, the lord Egelolphe II of Ribeaupierre brought back from the East, after the crusades of the early 13th century, a statue of the Virgin installed from 1210 in a first chapel. Historically documented: the sanctuary was plundered in 1360 (the statue disappearing at that time), then ransacked by Swedish troops in 1632; a statuette was found in 1656, hidden in a rock. Destroyed at the Revolution (1792), the site was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century.
