A monk built the Little Chapel of Guernsey (pictured) in 1914 to create a miniature version of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, constructing it from donated pieces of china, seashells, and pebbles. The Little Chapel can only fit about eight people and is believed to be the smallest consecrated chapel in the world.
