    Round arched niche in which the statue of Mary with child is closed by glass and an iron gate. On the pedestal a diamond-shaped bluestone plate with the inscription "A.(V. E.)/ MARIA/ 1847/ 1947" above which is an iron candle holder.

    The Polderkapel is a brick chapel in the 's Gravenmolenstraat in Grimbergen. It was founded in 1847 on a piece of land from the Polderweide. It consists of a simple brick block in which there is a deep niche with the statue of Our Lady and the flowers. The chapel was completely rebuilt in 1948.
    The Rosary was prayed in community at this chapel during the month of Mary for many years. In October there was the annual Novena. The Virgin Mary statue was carried annually in the Ommegang.
    The chapel is owned by the municipality.
