Guernsey


 The Little Chapel chapel in Saint Andrew, in Les Vauxbelets. Guernsey.

The Little Chapel is situated in the Les Vauxbelets valley, Saint Andrew, Guernsey.  It was created in July 1914, by Brother Déodat. He planned to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at Lourdes, the Rosary Basilica. Some articles in the Daily Mail said that it "is the smallest functioning chapel in Europe, if not the world".
