Tips

Except for the lower part, the whole is built in local tuff, just like many parts of churches, farms and houses in this area. The church tower a little further also consists largely of tuff where safety nets have been installed for crumbling pieces. Tuff has a yellowish color and is very soft. The tuff of Lincent, here a few miles today, has been used very often. The ruins of the old church at Lincent are a wonderful example. But this chapel is also very beautiful.

A first chapel was inaugurated on this site in 1216.

According to legend, the knight Jean de Racour, lord of Racour, Grand-Leez and Linsmeau, who had promised to build a chapel where he would see a white dove, unscathed from a battle, came and left a dove in the town square of Linsmeau building the current chapel in 1327. In addition, Jean de Racour's seal bore three doves.

The chapel was once famous for the miracles that took place there and as a place of pilgrimage.

The chapel was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century as can be seen (according to Tarlier and Wauters) the date 1723 which can be read inside and the vintage 1721 which can be seen on the roof
