The chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of the Poor. There is a bench in front of the chapel.

The building dates from 1954, as evidenced by the monogram on the arch around the altar: ECCE GRATIA PLENA DOMINI ANCILLA (here is the Servant of God full of grace), so MDCCCLLLIIII = 1954. The chapel was built on a plot of land owned by a woman from Gruponto was donated and built by the inhabitants of the village.

Originally, a fresco depicting the Virgin of Banneux was painted on the rear wall by a Carmelite nun from Rochefort; this was covered with blue whitewash. Stained glass windows dedicated to the Virgin let light pass under the arch that houses the Virgin of Banneux.

Until 1998, a mass was celebrated here every year in September. Today it is a place of prayer or rest for residents and hikers.
