In the heart of a wooded enclosure, a small chapel of the Virgin Mary was built in 1943 by Albert Defoy, at the initiative of the village priest, Father Culot.
It was primarily the work of the Pondrôme residents themselves.
Next to the building, you can admire a majestic statue of the Virgin Mary crushing the head of a serpent, a symbol of evil. It is the work of the sculptor Thomas de Sohier.
In 1993, for its fiftieth anniversary, the chapel underwent a major restoration, also carried out by the residents of Pondrôme.
