The Sainte Croix Chapel

Some historians trace the origin of this Sainte Croix chapel back to the 11th century, making it a precious relic of the past. Considered a major place of worship through the centuries, it has undergone regular restorations, notably in 1620 and 1862, to preserve its architecture and spiritual significance. After the construction of the first Saint-Hubert church in 1848, its religious function diminished, but its role in local life remained essential. During World War I, it served as an infirmary, then temporarily resumed its religious use between 1916 and 1928, replacing the destroyed parish church. Today, the chapel continues to shine through exhibitions, lectures, musical or poetic evenings, film screenings, as well as ceremonies and receptions. It also welcomes tourists, while remaining deeply embedded in the collective memory of the inhabitants, who affectionately call it the Sainte Croix chapel.
