On the Biestse Westrik, a corruption of "Westerwijk", you will find a beautiful chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph between 17 red beeches. According to tradition, the paths of two saints, St. Servatius and St. Willibrordus, once crossed here. The current chapel dates from 1906. There have been chapels on this site before that. The first chapel may have been built around the year 700, so that this place has been consecrated ground for many centuries.
