Saint-Hubert Chapel, Religious chapel in Libois, Belgium.
Description
Saint-Hubert Chapel in Libois is a house of worship with an octagonal slate spire, a single nave, and an apse built from Condroz limestone. The structure combines classical architectural forms with regional building materials and is now protected as exceptional heritage.
History
Construction began in 1772 and ended in 1792, initiated by Marie Zoude and completed under Marguerite Raymond, successive wives of Philippe Jamar. The chapel thus arose during a period of local wealth and influence, documenting one family's ambitions across two decades.
Culture
The interior features works by Liege sculptor Guillaume Evrard, whose polychrome stucco and religious figures shape the space. This decoration reflects 18th-century artistic taste and makes the place an example of local craftsmanship.
Practical
The chapel stands at the corner of Rue le Long du Château and Rue du Charron in Ohey municipality, near Barsy Castle. The location is easy to find and offers visitors calm access to this protected building.
Did you know?
The building gained recognition as Exceptional Heritage of Wallonia in 1977, but its interior decorations only received the same protected status in 2016. This delayed recognition of the artistic interiors shows how long it can take for a place's full value to be acknowledged.
