The Chapel of St. Joseph was built in 1709 by order of Catharina de Clercq (1671-1743) on land owned by her father, fulfilling her mother's last wish. The devotion to St. Joseph stemmed from devotion and gratitude for the blessings received through his intercession. According to a document from 1719, the chapel was equipped with a "joeliealthaerken met sijn sculpterijje..." (Inventory of Immovable Heritage)
