The chapel, a white rectangular building with two floors, was inaugurated on 23 September 1928 in the presence of King Leopold III, Queen Astrid and the Belgian bishops. The monument was erected in memory of all allied soldiers who died at the Yser, regardless of their nationality. The building has a stepped façade and a roof terrace with a cross and a bronze figure of Christ. Inside there is an altar and two private memorial plaques for soldiers who died at the Yser.
