it is not what it is IMHO. "place_of_worship" is misleading.

What do you tag/call a place where the people of the village gather or stop to celebrate St Mary? Seeing the sign on the IGN map, I first thought it was a chapel until I made a trip to see it.
And it looks like they cherish it as the chapel they can't afford.

"potale du Christ" also does look like a description and not like a name.

I wrote to the clergyman for a name and he didn't reply. I may let you know their address.
So, I asked the people around and that's the best they refer to it.
I thought that a name was what you call something.

I am also not sure if a niche in a wall meets the definition for "shrine"
(which is more something like a box I think).
This is how I described it:
What is the tag for this? <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potale>

Mine is more or less like Hanzinne's in size but wide open with a huge cross inside. 3 m high. If it wasn't just a façade, a front, it would almost be a chapel, but it's not.
How can you call that a box or a niche in a wall?

Thanks to all.

Oh dear.

You should fix that !!!
