Cappella del Santo Sudario

The Chapel of the Holy Shroud at Plan d'Introd is a small medieval religious building associated with the Sarriod d'Introd family and the House of Savoy.

Why it matters

The chapel reflects the close ties between the lords of Introd and the Savoy dynasty, whose relic of the Shroud inspired its dedication. Its later use as a civic exhibition space connects local heritage with contemporary cultural life.

What to notice

A wooden cross stands on a rectangular stone that once supported coffins during funerals. The chapel stands near the castle park and farmhouse known as l'Èla. Its interior has hosted exhibitions, including works connected with the Holy Shroud and local artists.

Context and history

The chapel's precise date is uncertain: the municipality suggests a late-antique origin, while regional heritage material describes a medieval foundation. Its first recorded restorations took place between 1508 and 1510. The municipal administration later restored the building and adapted it for exhibitions.
