Marcq, in the Bois d'Enghien.
Chapel of Our Lady of the Afflicted.
Built by the family of the Princes of Croy, formerly owners of the wood. In 1924,
it was still a frequent destination for pilgrimages. The Virgin was invoked there for
children who could not walk and for rheumatics. There is still a crutch there as an ex-voto. Recently restored heritage.
