The Church of Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours in Nancy, France, is a Rococo chapel built in 1741 by architect Emmanuel Héré de Corny. Originally designed to house the remains of Stanisław Leszczyński, the Polish king and last duke of Lorraine, the church bears witness to its dual heritage: a stone relief of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth coat of arms adorns its clock tower on the main façade. The building is notable for sheltering a fifteenth-century devotional treasure—a statue of Our Lady of Good Help carved by Mansuy Gauvain in 1505—making it a repository of religious art spanning three centuries. The church is classified as a French historical monument.
