Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel or Veldkant Chapel flanked by cypresses. Built in 1883 by the Denayer-Leemans family to replace a smaller chapel of thanksgiving by Jan-Baptist Leupaart from 1875-1878. The interior was embellished in 1902 by Count Cornet de Peissant with a grotto (now disappeared) and a statue of Our Lady from Lourdes that was carried in the procession.
