The Chapelle du Try-au-Chêne, also known as the Chapelle de Notre-Dame de Hault, is a rural chapel located in Bousval.
This chapel was built in 1608 by Captain Thierry Le Jeune, Lord of La Baillerie, to thank the Virgin Mary for protecting his life during the Eighty Years' War. This is confirmed by an inscription in old French engraved on the stone to the right of the door.
The chapel dominates the valleys of the Dyle and Thyle and is a typical and very well-known landscape in the region.

This beautiful chapel from 1608 is dedicated to Notre-Dame de Hault. The financing for the construction was provided by Thierry Le Jeune, lord of la Baillerie, in gratitude for having escaped death several times. In the two niches above the door, one can discover a statue of the Virgin and one of a man with a lance, who carries a cross on his left shoulder. Today, on Whit Monday, a mass is celebrated in the presence of the old statue preserved in the choir of the church of Bousval.
