The Chapelle du Try-au-Chêne, also known as Chapelle de Notre-Dame de Hault, is a rural chapel located in Bousval.
This chapel was founded in 1608 by Captain Thierry Le Jeune, lord of La Baillerie, to thank the Virgin Mary for protecting his life during the Eighty Years' War. This is confirmed by an inscription in old French engraved in the stone to the right of the door.
The chapel dominates the Dyle and Thyle valleys and forms a typical and well-known landscape in the region.
