Culture and History
A special view of Wail leads to the Chapelle de Wail. The neo-Gothic family chapel dates from the 19th century and preserves a crypt with black marble epitaphs commemorating the history of the founding family. Around 1867, the chapel was rebuilt under the direction of Arthur de Hauteclocque; he entrusted the project to the architect Clovis Normand.
The Église Saint-Martin de Wail contains a polychrome equestrian statue of Saint Martin above the altar in the choir, made of carved and painted wood. The statue dates from the 16th century and has been listed as a protected object since 24 December 1982.
Those who choose Wail as a holiday destination want to rent a holiday apartment.
