    The chapel was built outside the city walls of Urmond between 1751 and 1755. It was then easily accessible via the Koepoort and the Koestraat (present-day Brugstraat) easily accessible. It was then along an old Roman Heerweg and the road from Urmond to Sittard.
    Between 1760 and 1770, goat riders used the chapel for gatherings.
    In the summer of 1793, the chapel was used for worship when the Terpkerk was built.
    The chapel has been a national monument since 1967.
