Saint-Roch's Chapel

St. Roch's Chapel was built in 1634 following the Great Plague of 1629–1630, which wiped out a quarter of the population. It houses religious objects, statues from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as artifacts from Gallo-Roman tombs.

Description

Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian were invoked to ward off the recurring plague epidemics that decimated the population due to travelers and armies passing through Mont Cenis. The plague wiped out a quarter of the village’s population.

The Saint Roch Chapel is the starting point for “The Paths of History,” a vast open-air museum exploring the chapels of Lanslevillard and the lives of the mountain communities of Lanslevillard. The temporary exhibition is dedicated to the weeping woman, the iconic war memorial of Termignon.
