      The Romanesque chapel is the oldest building in the Kempen area. The chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1085. It was not until the 13th century that parish rights went to the Church of St. Mary's Birth.

        This chapel in Kempen was dedicated to Saint Peter. Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand. This attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19). Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles"; their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.
