This semi-rural chapel in the Droeshout neighborhood is shaded by three lime trees (Tilia platyphyllos) and is located at the intersection of Mazelstraat and 't Kintstraat, near the now-defunct farm of the influential and wealthy 't Kint family, known in Opwijk since 1513. According to a memorial stone inside, a certain Joh. Josina 't Kint (1696-1793) commissioned the construction of this chapel in 1770 in response to a plague epidemic that occurred between 1667 and 1669.
