    On the spot, a few meters from here, where the "miraculous crosses" were found in 1317, the holy cross well was built later.
    This chapel of the Cross was built in 1632.
    This pilgrimage chapel was certainly connected to the OLV Hemelvaart church in the village center from the middle of the 18th century by the Way of the Cross with 14 stations.

      This pilgrimage chapel was built on the spot where, according to tradition, two miraculous crucifixes were found in 1317. The brick pit near the Cross Chapel indicates the exact location of where the crosses were excavated at the time.

      One cross is kept in the church of Eksaarde, the other in the Cross Chapel. The two crosses are symbolically connected by a Stations of the Cross with 14 state chapels.
