The first mention of unusual church in an oak is dated 1696. When once the tree began to sparkle bright fire, attendants of abbey with inspiration decided to glorify God, and arranged inside a prayful chapel which called by the name of Virgin Mary. The abbey Dyutrua and the father Du Seron invited local children to expand an internal cavity of an oak, having paid them on one gold coin. The small room turned out 1,75 in length and 1,17 in width. At top of a trunk the belltower which didn't remain up to now was arranged. Later the father Seron moved in an oak cell over a chapel where the bed for the low person was located. So over the main chapel of Maria there was one more – a chapel of the Eremite or a chapel of God Tortures. At the time of the French revolutions the oak was tried to be burned several times, but the tree church is still live, and even bears fruits. Believers see in it the God's foresight. They say that near an oak chapel there were many miracles and signs. Precisely it is difficult to define age of a tree today. Scientists say that he is about 800 - 1000 years old. This oldest tree of France. Residents of the settlement Aluvil-Belefos with love protect an unusual churchlet.
