The Chapel of St. Benedict is a chapel with a moving story, literally. Chapel was built in 1888, located on the corner with Kleine Hinckstraat. Until World War II, the chapel stood across the street 100 yards away toward Wintam. In 1940 the chapel was demolished for the construction of an airfield by the Germans and was rebuilt on this site on the grounds of the d'Ursel family and dedicated to Our Lady of Banneux.

Both have a hand on their heart.
