Built between 1864 and 1891, this immense chapel topped with a colossal statue of the Holy Virgin can be seen from afar. To the left of the tower, more modest, a pretty Calvary is also visible. Father Cardot, the priest of the village of Villeneuve-au-Chemin, was the initiator and mastermind of this pharaonic project. His grave is located behind the Calvary.

The tower rises to 43 meters. The statue of the virgin crowning the tower is 7 meters high and weighs 8,500 kilos.

Nestled in a green setting, the Saint-Joseph des Anges chapel is a small, discreet building with sober architecture.
