In 1680, Denis Plousteur built a chapel on another site (Bois de Chêne) in gratitude for the release of his only son by the soldiers of Louis XIV. The chapel fell into ruin. Thanks to the generosity of Henri Montfort, the chapel was rebuilt in 1872 but on its current site. The statue of the Virgin Mary in the niche on the facade is still the original statue. In the chapel garden there is also an old crucifix by F. Desyer.
