Chapel of the Miraculous Crosses, also called "Cross Chapel". Built in 1626 on the site where two crosses were found in 1317 to which superhuman powers were attributed. Pilgrimage chapel, quietly located in the middle of the fields and surrounded by red beech trees; forecourt with well and sandstone cross.
The red beeches in front of the chapel were planted in 1922, the others are older. An avenue of rising beech trees and a double poplar avenue with the last chapels of the passage form the connection between the chapel and Ramstraat.

The holy well was later built on the spot, a few meters from here, where the "miraculous crosses" were found in 1317.
This Cross Chapel was built in 1632.
This pilgrimage chapel was certainly connected to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in the village center from the mid-18th century by the Way of the Cross with 14 stations.

The legend of the origins of this chapel is described on a sign.
Definitely read! You will never again shake your head to express your disbelief ;-)
