À propos du lieu

Chapelle Notre-Dame de Lorette

Rue Duguesclin, 85700 La Flocellière

Vendée
Pays de la Loire

The convent of the Carmelites of La Flocellière was founded to respect the wish of Elizabeth Hamilton, Marquise de Maillé-Brézé, on her deathbed in 1617\. After years of construction, the convent prospered well. But it was destroyed during the Revolution. Restored in the 19th century by Father Dalin, the old choir of the church gives way to a marvel: an exact replica of the interior of the "Santa Casa" of Loreto.
