The Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours Chapel was founded in 1624 and largely restored between 1894 and 1895.
Culture and History
Although the chapel is often attributed to Senlis, it is actually located within the territory of Chamant. To this day, it remains a destination for a lively pilgrimage.
The parish of Notre-Dame de Chamant was founded in 1129. The Church of Notre-Dame de Chamant was extensively restored on the initiative of Napoleon III between 1863 and 1877 under the direction of Viollet-le-Duc. The church houses an exceptional depiction of the Virgin of the Burning Bush dating from the early 14th century.
Chamant’s water tower was built by an associate of Gustave Eiffel. The 30-metre-high water tower was constructed in the Forêt d’Halatte to supply racehorses with water. It is still in operation and supplies Chamant and Plessis-Chamant with water.
Geographical Location
