Chapelle Notre-Dame de Miséricorde - Chimay

The Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde chapel in the middle of the street is a stone and brick building dating from the end of the 16th century and modified in the centuries since.

It has a simple plan with a nave ending in a three-sided blind apse and has a 16th-century entrance door with molded keystones and sills, as well as two round-arched windows highlighted by a turned archivolt. In the 17th century, the oratory was expanded with a Baroque-inspired brick gable and the apse was added. In the following century, the facade was pierced with a niche with the date 1700 and the donation of "Fr. Laurent". A year later, in 1701, he ordered the construction of a front building consisting of a vaulted portal in classical style supported by two Tuscan columns . The gable roof is topped by a bell tower on the facade.
