Chapel built in 1936-1937 to plans by the architect Albert Genard, with financial support from the local cement works Levie, Dubail, Duffossez and Henry, near the former Cronfestu cement works, since demolished. Drawing on the Art Deco vocabulary, it is characterised by its concrete structure, whose form evokes the Reuleaux triangle and culminates in a perfectly triangular apex. It is lit by a large stained-glass window.
