Tips

Saint Anthony Abbot is the patron saint of farmers and livestock. Many Antonius chapels were built around 1400. Through communal prayer, believers try to protect humans and animals against contagious diseases. This is also the case in Liempde. The former 'St. Theunis chapel', also known as 'the holy house', was located in Kasteren, near 't goed de Sloophoos. Shortly after the peace of Munster in 1648, all chapels disappear. It was not until 1794 that the chapel was rebuilt as a wooden place of worship. In the course of the nineteenth century, the Antonius chapel disappears again. In 1982, the Kasteren neighborhood association built a simple niche containing a statue of Antonius Abt. The niche was replaced in 2002 by the current chapel.

The St. Anthony's Chapel is a small field chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, traditionally invoked for lost items and for the protection of people and livestock. Chapels of this type are common in Brabant and often stood along old roads or near hamlets, allowing passersby to hold a moment of silence or a short prayer.

The chapel has the typical structure of a Brabant field chapel: a brick building with a pointed arch, a simple gable roof, and a small, austere interior with a statue or image of the saint. Many of these chapels were built in the 19th or early 20th century by local farmers or neighborhood communities.

Today, the St. Anthony's Chapel serves as a resting place along the route and a recognizable cultural element in the landscape of Het Groene Woud.
