An attractive lawn with birch trees has been laid out in front of the chapel. There is a statue of Our Lady Mother of Good Hope. Along two paths are seven chapels with bronze plates at the top, depicting the seven sorrows of Mary

According to legend, the Spanish general Don Dionysius Vicca, born in Cadiz (Costa de la Luz, southern Spain), built the chapel on the Heinkensberg in Wever around 1572 - 1573. As a token of gratitude after he, as army commander of Alva, achieved a victory over one of the armies of William of Orange. The chapel on the Heinkensberg in the sub-municipality of Wever is dedicated to Our Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted. Source and more at vensteropglabbeek.be/nl/node/483
