The Vredekapel in Appels is a chapel of thanksgiving that was built in 1945-1946 out of gratitude because no bombs had fallen on the territory of Appels during the Second World War. The initiative for the construction was taken by pastor Petrus Moens. The construction was paid for by the parishioners themselves. The architect was Frits Bosteels from Dendermonde. On Sunday 15 September 1946, the chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of Peace, was solemnly consecrated.
