Charming Chapels of Negros
Patagoña Chapel /Chapel of the Fallen Tree/

Taking inspiration from the Chilean Patagonia, the world’s largest wildlife sanctuary, the rustic residential compound of Patagoña in the protected forests of Patag, Silay City, harbors a chapel with a rugged, improvisational, DIY aesthetic. Made entirely out of discarded wood and repurposed building materials, the Chapel of the Fallen Tree provides a monastic setting for quiet reflection as you breathe in cool clean mountain air.
