The White Penitents’ Chapel

Founded in 1625, the Brotherhood of the White Penitents played a major role in the spiritual and artistic life of Aigues-Mortes. Its chapel, built in 1668, is a masterpiece of religious art, adorned with monumental frescoes, including Xavier Sigalon’s famous Descent of the Holy Spirit (1817).

The brotherhood has always been dedicated to helping the sick and the poor while preserving liturgical traditions. It also houses a collection of paintings by Auguste Glaize, donated by Brother David Castor Gout, which bear witness to its commitment to religious art and Christian devotion.
