This chapel is known as the Chapel of Our Lady of Dellebron. It was built in 1911, but its history goes back a long time since this current chapel replaced a previous one. Perhaps the name refers to a dried up source where 'delle' stands for dal (the valley of the Vlierbeek that runs here). It is not very far from a residential care center with the same name. The chapel is busy, received a forest in 2009 and there is a celebration in May. Inside there is a walnut statue. People have also placed statues on the sides. The grove in which it is located and its location make it an attractive place to stop for a while. The benches are already there. The location is also a place of comfort for Ferm. Diagonally behind the chapel you will also see a round construction with a path leading to it. It is not immediately clear whether this has anything to do with the source. In any case, the stream runs nearby.
