    Tips

    December 26, 2020

    The Vagrant Chapel or Our Lady of Ascension of Merksplas - Colony from 1899 is a landmark in the Colony and also a starting point for many walks.

    The chapel itself has a complete basement, and at the time was the storage place for winter vegetables. The chapel was desecrated in 1985. The chapel has a unique incidence of light due to the skylight that runs over the entire length in the ridge.

    In normal circumstances, the tramp chapel can be visited.

      This monumental space of the former prison chapel of Merksplas colony has been used as an event location for a number of years. I have added a photo of the current destination of the chapel (inside).
