Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Stations of the Cross Hamelheide

This chapel is known as the chapel of Hamelheide and was built by order of machinist Frans Machiels from Hasselt, who owned a piece of land here. In 1944 Machiels found himself at Hasselt station in the midst of heavy bombardments. He prayed and promised to build a chapel if he made it out alive. And so it happened. It is a typical origin story of many chapels. The chapel, built in 1954 and dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, was completed in 1959 and received a Stations of the Cross. It grew into a small place of pilgrimage and Eucharist is celebrated several times a year.

This Stations of the Cross was built in 1959 when the neighboring chapel of Hamelheide - dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help - was expanded. The chapel itself was built in 1954. More about its origins and the Stations of the Cross at komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/617878
