Origin and history

The Hannedouche Chapel is a historic monument located in Servins, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (Hauts-de-France). Built in the 17th century, it embodies the religious architecture of this period, marked by Baroque and classical influences. Its classification by decree of 26 January 1989 bears witness to its heritage value, and it is now owned by the commune.

The location of the chapel is specified in the Merimée base: it is located in Place Public (or 5073 Place du Jeu de Paume) in Servins. Although its geographical accuracy is considered satisfactory (note 7/10), its exact address reflects its anchoring in the centre of the village. No information is available on its current use (visits, rentals, or accommodation), but its status as a Historic Monument makes it a protected and potentially open place to the public.

Available sources, such as Monumentum, highlight its local importance without providing details about its specific history, sponsors, or any significant events related to it. The chapel thus remains a symbol of the rural religious heritage of the Hauts-de-France, typical of the small communes of the modern era.

In the seventeenth century, village chapels played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering, and sometimes refuge. In Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a region marked by a dynamic agricultural economy and trade, these buildings also reflected the spiritual and social aspirations of local people. The Hannedouche Chapel fits into this context, although its particular history is not detailed in the accessible archives.
