The chapel of Muilen (Our Lady of Muylem), built in 1884 and rebuilt in 1958, stands between two candied summer lime trees. The lime tree to the east of the chapel has a trunk circumference of 258 cm, the lime tree to the west a circumference of 226 cm. The trees can already be seen on photos from the early 20th century. Since the chapel was rebuilt in 1958, the lime trees are the oldest heritage elements of this site.
Until the French Revolution there was a monastery on this site (°1654). To the left of Kapel Ter Muilen you can still see an old wall of this monastery. It was not until the late nineteenth century that the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Muilen. The name refers to Mary seated on a mule. Next to the chapel is the grave of hermit Father Arnoud de Liedekerke (1913 – 1982) who organized acts of resistance against the Nazis in World War II with his brother. It is no coincidence that the Liedekerke is located here, because it was this noble family who had the chapel restored in 1958.
