Due to its architectural style, the St. Amor Chapel is a remarkable building in the northeastern forests of Munsterbilzen. The chapel was built with demolition material from monuments destroyed in the Second World War. The building has the appearance of a mini-fortress with round corner turrets.

The Saint Amor Chapel is a chapel in the Munsterbos in Munsterbilzen in the Belgian municipality of Bilzen.
This accessible chapel was built after the Second World War with materials from monuments destroyed during the war. The architectural style is special, and looks more like a castle than a chapel.
In 2008, the interior of the chapel was vandalized by vandals, including the destruction of a statue of Our Lady of Flanders. There is still a wooden statue of Saint Amor present. It is a copy of the Sint-Amor statue in Maastricht and was made by Charles Vos.
