Chapel of Notre-Dame du Salut

Chapelle Notre-Dame du Salut
France, Fecamp
There is a legend that Robert the Magnificent (aka Robert the Devil and Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy since 1027), was sailing somehow on the sea, and suddenly a storm came up. He began to pray and promised that in case of salvation he would build 3 chapels. He escaped, and chapels were built - at Honfleur, Caen, and here at Fécamp. It was in the XI century. The chapel in Fécamp immediately became a place of pilgrimage for sailors and their families, they climbed to it along a very steep path.
The chapel was part of the monastery of Bourg-Baudouin at the Abbey of the Holy Trinity. Today's view of the chapel is after the reconstruction in the XVII century.

The church, dedicated to the sailors who came to pray before going to sea, is located on the top of the cliff. Therefore, it offers an excellent view of the city, alabaster rocks and the beach. The ascent on foot is not very easy, so consider your physical condition before heading out to conquer the heights. The church itself is harsh, as was the life of sailors in those days, because dozens of fishermen died every year during cod fishing in the sea. The courage of this profession and the dead are evidenced by paintings and dedications placed on the walls of the church.
