The Chapelle Notre-Dame du Champdé is a former Catholic building whose ruins stand in the French commune of Châteaudun, located in the Eure-et-Loir department in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The structure dates back to the 15th century and was officially classified as a historical monument by a decree on February 3, 1879.
The west facade of the chapel remains as the only vestige of the building. Photographs taken by Séraphin-Médéric Mieusement in 1887 show the republican motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" inscribed on the fronton of this west facade.
Today, this historical facade serves as the entrance to the Champdé cemetery. The site is documented in various architectural and religious resources, including the Mérimée database and the archives of the French historical monuments portal.
