Chapelle de Bethléem

About

The chapel of Bethlehem is a 16th-century chapel of Romanesque style and today in ruins located in Aubevoye, in the French department of Eure in Normandy. Built from 1576 on the initiative of Cardinal Charles I of Bourbon, Archbishop of Rouen, for the use of the Chartreux monks of Bourbon-lez-Gaillon, this chapel has a crypt, unique in the world, reproducing the same dimensions as that of the cave of the Basilica of the Nativity of Bethlehem in Judea.
