Built in 1602, the chapel was the point of arrival of a large procession to the Trinity. After the Revolution, during the Russian occupation, this religious building became an orthodox chapel for Russian troops. As a new Catholic place of worship in 1818, the Walcourt Chapel will be a Protestant temple for German troops during the First World War...
