    The village of Moorshoven originated from a noble estate in the moor, which was later expanded into a castle.

    In the center of the hamlet stands this St. Francis Chapel, named after Saint Francis of Assisi.

    In 1746, an oak cross was erected at the chapel's current location. This later became the present brick chapel.

    Moorshoven (translated: farm in the moor) originated from a noble estate that was later expanded into a castle. In the center of the village stands the St. Francis Chapel, named after Saint Francis of Assisi. In 1746, an oak cross was erected at the chapel's current location. Because this missionary cross was exposed to wind and weather, the present chapel was built around it from stones from the ruined castle complex.

    A small chapel for a blessing in between. Nicely done and well cared for.
