Beneauville Chapel

Beneauville Chapel

Moult/Chicheboville, FR

The Notre-Dame chapel is the remnant of a moustier: a farm built and operated on behalf of the Abbey of Troarn, by the care of a small community settled there from 1060-1080. The choir is from the 12th century, the nave was redesigned in the 13th century with the addition of a cornice decorated with sawtooth motifs. A bell tower, added in the 13th century, was destroyed in 1698 because of its obsolescence and replaced by a small bell tower at the end of the nave, called "gable bell tower". The porch and its triangular pediment were probably added at the same time. The exterior cornice of the choir is remarkable for its decoration of various modillions. At the end of 2018, the general restoration of the chapel was completed, undertaken in 2009 by the commune with the very active collaboration of the association of the Friends of the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Béneauville, chaired by André Arruego. This work included the repair of the exterior masonry, then the repair of the interior masonry, the restoration of the flat tile roof and finally the consolidation of the buttresses. This restoration is illustrated by its finesse and sensitivity.
