In the hamlet of Lavrigny stands a small chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame de Pitié. Formerly larger, this building was the church of a village of 400 inhabitants. Burnt down by the English during the Hundred Years' War, all that remained of this village, defended by its fortified castle, was its church, dedicated to Our Lady of the Nativity. Services were held here until the French Revolution. To reduce maintenance costs, the church was reduced to its current state, and the bell tower was also removed. The lintel over the entrance door looks old. It features a carved Maltese cross and inscriptions that mention the names Lavrigny and Montécot, two ancient Langro families. Around 1900, the people of Lavrigny restored the building, adding a small belfry. Today, the chapel still has some fine statues, including a Madonna and Child that could date from the 15th century.
