Southern Burgundy Romanesque ChurchesDomange Chapel
The Romanesque Domange Chapel (Chapelle de Domange in French) can be seen from afar thanks to its high bell tower and location on a hill. The chapel is named after the hamlet of Domange and has vineyards on three sides. Thanks to a refurbishment in 2006 the chapel is in good shape and is worth a stop if you are nearby.
The chapel was first mention in 953 in a document from nearby Cluny. The nave, choir and crossing were built in the latter half of the 11th century. The apse was rebuilt in the fist part of the 12th century. Typical of local Romanesque churches, Domange Chapel has Lombard Bands on its bell tower.
The chapel was declared a national monument in 1938 and is in the village of Igé in Southern Burgundy, the department of Saône-et-Loire. The chapel is on the road that runs to Azé, there is a sign.
