800 years of the Paroisse Notre Dame de la Chapelle

An anniversary to celebrate, a history to revisit

The eight centuries of the history of the Paroisse are both witness and actor of the urbanization of districts which adjoin the first city's forticifcation. To revisit this history, it is not only to be interested in the religious history, but also to engross into social and political stakes and economic, artistic and cultural development. The celebration of 800 years of the Paroisse wants to contribute to feed the current identity of the history. It is on this ambitious project that the asbl Les Amis de la Chapelle works for 2 years.
