It is assumed with reasonable certainty that the chapel group De Viertien Kapellekens, after which a street was also named, was founded in 1860 by farmer Petrus Verhaert. That man mowed in the middle of the 19th century with a scythe in his leg. He was advised to regularly hang the injured leg in the cesspool so that it would heal properly. During the healing process, Peter promised that if he could keep his leg, he would have a Stations of the Cross built in gratitude for his healing.

The 14 chapels were erected by farmer Petrus Verhaert, who had mowed his leg with a scythe. Out of gratitude for his healing, he had a Way of the Cross built.
