The Chapel of Wixhou is a Neo-Byzantine chapel dating from 1850. It stands on the site of an older chapel. The name "Wixhou" is possibly derived from the Germanic "wi-hout," meaning "sacred wood." This refers to a story from 1683 in which a woman gathering wood discovered a miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary. This statue, approximately 10 cm high, still stands in the chapel, which is therefore dedicated to Notre-Dame aux Bois-Bénits ("Our Lady of the Sacred Wood"). The chapel became a place of pilgrimage and features two coats of arms above the portal, including the coat of arms of the Argenteau family. The organ in the chapel was regularly played by the famous composer Franz Liszt, who was a guest at the nearby Château de Argenteau. The chapel is owned by the Van Zuylen family, residents of that castle. The neo-Byzantine decor and the historical ties with the Argenteau and Van Zuylen families give the chapel a special cultural value.
