About Danville Labyrinth
The Danville Labyrinth is located at McDowell Park on Main Street, between The Presbyterian Church of Danville and Centre College. It was built in 2002 by a non-denominational committee of local citizens. The construction budget of $50,000 was raised through hundreds of donations. The labyrinth design is a replica of the 11-circuit labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral in France. This pattern, once central to cathedral culture, was inlaid into the cathedral's stone floor in 1201. The Danville labyrinth, like the Chartres labyrinth, is 40-feet in circumference.
