À propos du lieu

Chapelle de Suzan

Suzan, 40110 Ousse-Suzan

Landes
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Located on a natural area of 4 hectares composed of meadows and forests, the chapel Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Suzan is the subject of a classification under the title of Historical Monuments.
Of Romanesque origin, probably built in the twelfth century, the building is remodelled several times by being endowed, in the fifteenth century, with a vast semi-circular fortified porch, with loopholes and an elongated gallery added in the eighteenth century.
The restorations carried out in 1981-1982 reveal in the choir remarkable mural frescoes dating from the sixteenth century.
