Chapel of St. Bernadette
Lausikula, Wallis and Futuna
The Chapel of St. Bernadette in Lausikula is one of Wallis’s most striking religious landmarks, standing on a site that originally held a small oratory beside a natural cave in the cliff. Official tourism explains that after cyclone Evan caused destruction in 2012, restoration and construction led to the large present chapel, which was blessed in September 2014. For visitors, the appeal lies in both the unusual story of its rebuilding and its dramatic coastal setting, making it a memorable architectural and cultural stop on a Wallis island circuit.
