Chapelle Notre-Dame de Heigne, Religious chapel in Jumet, Belgium.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Heigne displays a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with alternating pillars and columns across six bays.

Dating from the 12th century, the chapel belonged to a former priory under Lobbes Abbey and underwent reconstruction after a fire in the late 15th century.

The chapel contains the statue of Virgin with Stones from 1510, representing the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, reflecting medieval religious art traditions.

The chapel stands at coordinates 50.446 latitude and 4.40602 longitude in Charleroi, with registration in the Belgian national register of classified monuments since 1941.

The religious structure features an enlarged facade from the early 13th century and a flat-chevet choir, distinguishing it from traditional church layouts.
