Nestling in the centre of the town of Coutiches, in the heart of the Pévèle region, the present-day church, rebuilt in a neo-Romanesque style in the 19th century, perpetuates the Belgian cult of Notre-Dame de Foy. The cult dates back to the early 17th century, when a woodcutter discovered by chance a statuette of the Virgin, placed in the hollow of an oak tree by a pilgrim two centuries earlier.
