The Saint-Marcoul oratory in Orbeny is a small shrine located near the Saint-Marcoul de Corbeny priory, a former monastery where the relics of Saint Mark were kept. The oratory is a simple stone construction with a roof and a niche, where a statue of Saint Mark stands. It was probably built in the 19th century, when the priory had already fallen into disrepair. The oratory is surrounded by two large chestnut trees and is a place of worship for pilgrims who come to Corbeny to seek the healing power of Saint Mark.
