The Kleemkapel is a beautiful example of popular devotion and rural religious architecture in neo-Gothic style from 1874 and expanded in the same style in 1894. The neat, sober, neo-Gothic decoration with a beautifully painted wooden altar, a Way of the Cross in polychrome reliefs, and plaster statues of saints was supplemented in 1934 with nine beautiful stained glass windows and provided with a colorful wainscoting of faience tiles. The pillar chapels of the pilgrimage procession of the 'Fifteen Mysteries of the Holy Rosary', belonging to the Kleemkapel, are located in a cultural landscape typical of the Meetjesland. They were rebuilt in 1932 by the architectural firm Bressers to replace the chapels from 1874. Protected since 2002.
