Chapel of The Hermitage St. Claude, now in ruins, is located on the eastern slope of the hill overlooking Sennecey. It was probably founded at the very beginning of the 17th century by the barons of Sennecey, under the patronage of Saint Claude.
 

This chapel, to which two rooms were attached, was inhabited by monks who were highly respected in the canton and who formed a hermitage. The first hermit, Claude Tivolet, lived there for 25 years. His successors, like him, were the object of great veneration and, in 1705, Pope Clement XI granted indulgences to pilgrims who went to this chapel.
 

In the 18th century, during the time of the "chauffeurs" (a term used to describe those who practiced witchcraft), the hermit who lived in this place was suspended by his feet in the fireplace of his room and burned alive to reveal the location of his treasure. The poor man's only treasure was his piety, and he died in excruciating pain.
 

In the past, on the day after Easter, the inhabitants of Sennecey and Laives would go to the hermitage, and lively dances would take place on the plateau framed by large oak trees near the chapel.
 

Owned by the municipality since 1994, the chapel continued to deteriorate until it became a ruin. The Sennecey Heritage Association decided to save it and, with the help of volunteers from the municipality, started a project to consolidate it and perhaps rebuild it.
