User:Viriditas/Plaincourault Chapel

Plaincourault Chapel is a 12th century chapel of the Knights Hospitaller located in Mérigny, Indre, France. The structure, which is located next to the Castle Plaincourault, suffered extensive damage during the French Revolution and was abandoned in 1793. It was declared a historical monument in 1944, but wasn't restored until the Parc naturel régional de la Brenne took ownership of the property in 1994. The chapel is famous for its unusual Romanesque art, particularly its Christian frescoes.
