Ancienne chapelle Notre-Dame du Champdé

An ancient chapel, a republican twist, and a hidden cemetery entrance.

The chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Champdé, located in the French commune of Châteaudun, dates back to the 15th century. Despite its religious origin, a Republican motto, 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité', was inscribed on the western facade in 1887. Today, the remaining facade serves as the entrance to the Champdé cemetery, classified as a historical monument.
