The chapel known as the Hermitage, is built on Saint-Hadelin's tomb, close to the cave where he withdrew from society. Up until 1789, the hermits serving the church of Celles lived at the hermitage, which dates from the 14th century. In the middle of the courtyard a stone statue represents Saint Hadelin with a big beard, his dove on the left shoulder and his crook in the right hand. This magnificent Station of the Cross in local stone, linking the village centre to the Hermitage, was previously used by the nuns of Saint-Vincent de Paul. This community lived in the Saint-Hadelin Hermitage from 1858 to 1973. The nuns went 2 to 3 times daily to the church to perform their devotions, the Station of the Cross allowed them to say their prayers on the way.
