    The Desert Chapel from the sixteenth century is one of the most picturesque corners of the Pajottenland. the name Desert would come from "wastenij", which would have indicated the uninhabited character of the place. Until a hundred years ago, only cattle were grazing there. The Chapel of St. Cross was built for a copper cross that is said to have been found on this site and which returned to its place on the Desert on its own from the parish church at night.
