Set on a bend in the road, the chapel of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows is a small Art Deco-inspired shrine built around 1947 by the Dubrunfaut firm. Its reinforced-concrete structure is partly faced with long red bricks; on the street side, a wide round arch rests on short swelling columns. Beneath the gabled roof of glazed interlocking tiles, a pietà by Léon Dorchy stands on a base faced with long yellow bricks.
