Chapel of Cartwheels

The Chapel of Cartwheels is a distinctive Catholic chapel located inside Hacienda Rosalia in Manapla, Negros Occidental. Built in the 1960s on a sugar estate owned by the Gaston family, its walls and interiors incorporate discarded wooden cartwheels from sugarcane carts. The chapel reflects the sugar heritage of northern Negros and serves as a religious and cultural landmark surrounded by sugarcane fields.

Visitors can expect a small, rustic chapel set within a working sugar hacienda surrounded by sugarcane fields. The structure features walls and decorative elements made from old wooden cartwheels, simple wooden pews, an altar, and stained-glass details. The grounds are quiet and pastoral, with open fields and estate buildings nearby. Visitors can view the exterior and interior when open, take photographs, and experience a peaceful rural setting.
