Tips

The monumental space of the former prison chapel of Merksplas colony has been used as an event location for a number of years.

The Chapel of Merksplas Colony is a combination of neo-romanticism with half-timbering

steel arched trusses resting on cast iron columns adjacent to the outer wall. This creates a 600 m2 hall church in which no pillars or side aisles are visible.

Recently, the restoration of the Landloper Chapel in Merksplas-Colonie was completed.

This monumental chapel was designed by Victor Besme. The architecture of the chapel matches that of the other main buildings of Merksplas-Colonie. Now events and parties are organized. In the basement there is an exhibition about the prison system.
