    Between 1751 and 1755 the chapel was built outside the city walls of Urmond. It was then easily accessible via the Koepoort and the Koestraat (today Brugstraat). At that time it was on an old Roman military road and the road from Urmond to Sittard.

    Between 1760 and 1770 goat riders (bokkenrijders) used the chapel for meetings.

    In the summer of 1793, the chapel was used for services during the construction of the Terpkerk.

    The chapel has been a national monument since 1967 and is dedicated to Mary.
