Dedicated to Saint Elizabeth, the seat of the Penitent's Brotherhood of Piène-Haute, reactivated in 2015, it is located in the hamlet square and is part of the urban fabric. It is likely that its construction pre-dates its late painted decorations.
The chapel of the Visitation dedicated to Saint Elizabeth, located on the hamlet square, is the headquarters of the Pénitents bancs de Piène brotherhood, which was reactivated in 2015. The building is inserted into the urban fabric and adopts the volume of the small neighboring houses. The short nave features a very small gallery and rustic side stalls. The painted decorations on the vault are late 19th-century neo-Gothic.
The origins of the Pénitents blancs chapel are not known. The Monuments Historiques department dates the chapel to the 19th century, as does its decoration, but it is likely that the construction and its vocation pre-existed this late decoration.
The interior design, inspired by late 19th-century neo-Gothic style, is interesting. The stalls and attributes of the penitents are still in place.
