The simple brick chapel bears the emblem of the Secret Army resistance movement. It was built on the site of a former hiding place of this resistance movement and where a number of members of this movement were executed by the occupying forces. The chapel is flanked on both sides by a marble memorial column bearing the names of 54 murdered resistance fighters.

Dear visitor,
chapel was built in 1947, in memory of the victims of W.W. II; this place was the shelter where +/- 800 resistance fighters gathered from Bilzen - Genk - Kortessem.
The annual commemoration takes place, every year on the 2nd Sunday of September, and this in memory of those who gave their lives and fought for freedom and the fatherland.
Only a few days before the liberation, on 5 and 7 September 1944, Guillaume Engelen, Lambert Meesters and Louis Noben were shot by the Germans.
