Juffrouwkapel ('t Iffraken) – Saint Apollonia Chapel

The Raspaillebos is a place with many stories and legends and 't Iffraken is part of that. During the Middle Ages, the forest provided shelter to the Pigs of the Raspaille Forest, a group of irregulars who took shelter there after plundering raids. Robber chief Jan De Lichte also sought shelter in this dense forest.
In the second half of the 19th century, a small chapel dedicated to Saint Apollonia was built in the forest near a source. Anyone who wanted to be freed from stabbing toothache went there for a quick prayer. That location is said to have once served as a Celtic cult site.
You can relax there for a while.

In the forest is the smaller Juffrouwkapel, popularly known as 't Iffraken or 't Uffraken, which is dedicated to Saint Apollonia. The faithful came here to ask her intercession for toothache.

The Miss Chapel, locally known as 't ifraken, dates from before 1865.
A drink from the well and a prayer for Apollonia was once good for toothache. This site used to be a Celtic place of worship.
The dilapidated chapel collapsed in early 2012. On September 15, 2013, the restoration - with historical materials and according to old methods - was a fact. 40 volunteers performed 1000 man hours in 50 work sessions.

Natuurpunt Boven-Dender believes that this enchanting site and this small monument deserve a place in the Raspaillebos.
A place to reflect on what was, or to muse about what is to come.
