Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Pitié de Lugny

About

Notre-Dame-de-Pitié Chapel is located in the territory of Lugny. Built a little away on a small hill (area: 0.70 are), it dominates the houses and vineyards of Fissy, in harmony with the site and the building of this hamlet. Although partially rebuilt – and enlarged – in 1823 according to plans drawn up by architect Roch son of Mâcon, this chapel kept the plan, part of the walls and spirit of the primitive Romanesque volume: "The chapel, as it appears from the road on its rocky eminence, is a construction of the mid-19th century, closely related to the church of Lugny, where the hand, probably, of the same architect is recognized.

Close to it, it shows a plan quite close to that of the chapel Saint-Laurent de Tournus and, towards the apse with flat bedside, old masonries and old interventions (end of the Gothic). The current building, with the exception of the rebuilt bell tower, could only be the updating of a small Romanesque church whose orientation it retains and about the volume. Michel Bouillot wrote.
