The St. Joris Chapel was first mentioned in 1377. It was dedicated to St. Hubertus. In the 16th century people spoke of the Chapel of St. George and the Holy Cross.

The chapel has been restored and restored several times. In 1960 it was cast in its current form by the St.-Joris Ruiterclub. The government recognized the chapel as a protected monument in 1989 and it was completely renovated in 1991.

The floor plan of the chapel describes a nave with three bays and a narrower choir made of a bustard with a semicircular apse. In the chapel there are beautiful statues of St. George and the Dragon, St. Amandus and St. Cornelius.

Every year on the Sunday after the feast of St. George (April 23rd) a procession with the ordination of horses takes place here.

Saint Genevieve Church, Zepperen

Highlight • Religious Site

As early as around 650 there is said to have been a chapel dedicated to St. Genoveva in Zepperen. About this time Saint Trudo is said to have met bishop Remaclus in Zepperen, as is described in the Vita Sancti Trudonis from about 775, which mentions such a chapel. Trudo is said to have prayed here, whereupon Remaclus sent him to Metz to follow a priestly study. The tower was built in the 12th century and is in Romanesque style. The current church, built in Demer Gothic style, was built between 1430 and 1509, and restored from 1860-1906. The church was already protected as a monument in 1935. In 1983, the area around the church was also protected as a village view.
