Photo Chapel of Mercy or the White Penitents

Cultural and religious heritage of the 12th century


This chapel was first mentioned in 1642. It was used as a place of worship by a brotherhood of white penitents. Sold, bought by the main families of Regusse, it became the property of the municipality to become a museum "the fighter's house". It should be noted that on the evening of the first municipal election (1st mayor Jean-Paul JEAN) on February 14, 1790, the swearing in took place in this chapel. The first room of this chapel has been the subject of various shops (butcher's shop, delicatessen among others). (Text of the Verdon Regional Natural Park)
Today the former chapel houses the exhibition of Regussa veterans
