2. Reconstruction of a XVI century chapel
Chapel of Santa Catalina de Alejandria, Huerres (Buerres), Asturias. June 2019
Some years ago, a group from the small village of Huerres o Buerres in Colunga (Asturias) has organized themselves as an association to recover an important historical chapel from the XVI century localized in the village of Huerres o Buerres by the name of Santa Catalina de Alejandria. The chapel may have roots from the XII century. This chapel was the meeting place of the ancient brotherhood of the Rosario, one of the oldest brotherhoods in Asturias that have books dating from 1590. The books are currently preserved in the library of the Archdioceses of Oviedo. The chapel is in need of a total restoration and now only the walls are still standing after a fire in 1934 during the Spanish civil war completed the destruction of the chapel. The Count of Monte Alea foundation, Inc is helping in the re-construction of the chapel by providing funds to complete the work of recovering this important piece of history. Donations for restoration of the chapel could be done directly to the bank account established by the Association for the Recovery of the Chapel at the following account: ES51 3059 0004 30 2536133123 or through the How you can Help? on this web page.
