Overview

La Chapelle-Montligeon lies in the Orne département and represents Normandy in its most natural state. Green fields, deep river valleys and forests abound, punctuated by fine manor houses and estates.

There are 180 beds in single, double and family rooms, each with private bath. Visitors have the opportunity to interact with the priests and sisters present at the shrine during meals and leisure time.


History

It was established by Father Paul Buguet, a cleric deeply affected by the death of his brother and two nieces. In their honour, he founded the shrine to create a link between people and “the neglected souls of purgatory.”

In 1884 Father Paul Buguet obtained approval for the statute of the “Association for the deliverance of the souls in purgatory” and at the same time created a printing works to spread his ideas. In 1894 the shrine was conceived and completed twelve years later. The association continues to gather followers worldwide. Many pilgrims come for prayer sessions or just to visit the shrine.
