At the junction with the Kleineweg stands this charming chapel, in a place where a house of prayer has belonged for centuries. An earlier chapel was lost during the French period, but the tradition lived on.
In 1818, Jan Coenen, farmer of the nearby Mersenhovenhoeve, had a new chapel built here, dedicated to Our Lady. It is striking that he used the same bricks for it as for the farmhouse, which creates a beautiful and recognizable whole.
A small place with a great story, where past and devotion come together.
