Lourdes chapel at the farm number 2. The chapel was built around 1895 as a resignation on the grounds of the farm called "Sainte-Marie." The farmhouse dates back to an ancient site as seen on the Ferraris map (1770-1778), the current buildings date from 1954.

The chapel was restored in 1992 and in 2011. The clock tower on the ridge on the east side is gone.

White painted brick building with a three-sided apse above plinth and under saddle (slates). Rejuvenating buttresses at the corners, use of bluestone in the cover sheets, corbels and the lintel above the door saying "A NOTRE DAME DE LOURDES". Facade with stepped masterpiece, rectangular door profiled around arched niche and segment arched niche in the gable. Arched windows in the side walls and apse.

Interior: White painted walls under vault. Neogothic altar behind wooden bars.
