The chapel was demolished in the late 18th century, but the gate with the covered scallop and tower survived and stand as a vestige in the park. The gate of the chapel, a fragment of the original 13th century monastery building, bears the pilgrim badge and symbol of fertility, the scallop shell as a roofing element.

The former monastery (NL: "Klooster") St. Elisabeth with a beautiful garden is worth seeing.

The site of the forestry administration provides information about the former monastery:
"The former monastery of St. Elisabeth is located in the Leudal nature reserve, which stands on a site where a monastery was already located in 1211. St. Elisabeth, an imperial museum, has a spacious park-like garden and behind the garden is a" plague house ". In this memorial of 1682 there remained monks who had the plague.The monastery of St. Elizabeth is now used as a nursing home of the foundation "Land van Horne".
