The Sint-Annakapel (Chapelle Sainte-Anne) is an accessible field chapel in the Belgian municipality of Aubel, located on the Eyckerweg, which is a field road northwest of the bowl.

The chapel dedicated to Saint Anne was founded in 1658 and rebuilt in brick on a sandstone plinth in the early 19th century. The chapel has a square plan and a semicircular choir closure.

The original 17th century facade is still present. The limestone that formed this facade was carefully bricked into the later brick facade. The chapel contains a small wooden altar with a statue of Saint Anne holding a bunch of grapes, and a statue of Our Lady and Child, in polychrome wood, from the 17th century.

The Chapelle Sainte-Anne in Aubel is a historic field chapel dating from 1658, located on Eyckerweg northwest of the village center. Dedicated to Saint Anne, the chapel was rebuilt in the early 19th century using brick on a sandstone base, retaining the original 17th-century limestone facade. Inside, there is a wooden altar with a statue of Saint Anne holding a bunch of grapes, a symbol of fertility, and a polychrome statue of the Virgin Mary from the same period.

Saint Anne is the mother of Mary, the mother of God, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ, which is not attested to in the biblical texts. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal writings (that is, writings that are not included in the canon of the Bible), for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically reliable information about the life of Anna, but there are numerous stories that have been handed down, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of the Annakirche in Düren (NRW), where a piece of her skullcap is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, the memorial day of Saint Anne - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
