It contains a piece of the Holy Candle from Arras, known as the Notre Dame des Ardents candle (12th century), brought back in the 15th century by the lord of the manor (the Duke of Croy), who had the first chapel built. The current building is very common. People come here to get the healing water. A novena is held every year in September.
