Tips

April 18, 2024

You will find this chapel located at the point where the road to Aarschot and the "Kleine Meur" (beautiful road to the forest and views) meet. The lady who opens it every day likes to talk about it, including about the original statue that stood here in what is officially known as the "Kapel Lief Vrouwke van de Donk". Inside there is information about that original - wooden - statue. It has already been stolen twice, the last time in 1999, and has been missing ever since. The lady, her brother-in-law, also designed the chapel at the school. This Lief Vrouwke van de Donk Chapel has been designated as an established architectural heritage and is described as follows: "Small building of white-washed brick, with an arched apse. Flat facade, divided into wall sections; judging by the mobility and the material used, it would still have come out of the last quarter of the 18th century."
