Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Hubert de Mazingarbe is a religious building built during the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. Located in the commune of Mazingarbe, in the department of Pas-de-Calais ( Hauts-de-France region), it embodies the local religious architecture of this period. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 28 March 1977 underlines its heritage importance, although its exact location remains approximate (accuracy noted as fair in the databases).

The chapel is now owned by a private company, which limits its public access. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate its official address at rue Jean-Jaurès, although an alternative location (5003 Chemin des Soldiers) is also mentioned via GPS coordinates. No information is provided on its current use (visits, rental, or accommodation), but its protected status makes it a witness to the religious heritage of Nord-Pas-de-Calais under the Ancien Régime.

At the time of its construction, the 18th century marked for the Hauts-de-France a period of relative stability after the conflicts of the previous centuries. Chapels like Saint-Hubert often served as secondary places of worship, dedicated to local saints (here, Saint Hubert, patron of hunters) or linked to community activities. Their presence reflected the importance of faith in everyday life, as well as the role of lords or village communities in their financing. However, no archive cited specifies the sponsors or the exact circumstances of its foundation.
