    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.

    Saint Mark was a monk who lived in Normandy in the 6th century. He was known as a miracle worker who could cure eczema and other skin diseases. His relics were transferred in the 10th century to Corbeny, where the kings of France came to receive the power to cure eczema by touching the sick and saying the words: “The king touches you, God heals you”. This tradition lasted until the 18th century, when the relics were brought to Reims. Saint Mark's Day is celebrated on May 1.
