Chapelle Sainte-Victoire
Rue de Hames - 62340 HAMES-BOUCRES
A chapel inaugurated in 1873
Destroyed by lightning in 1764, the church of Hames gave way, a century later, to the Sainte-Victoire Chapel, inaugurated on September 28, 1873. It was then endowed with statues of Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Joseph, joined in 1912 by a statue of Joan of Arc and in 1920 by a statue of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
