    This national monument chapel was built in 1939 by order of Carol Schade as a thank you for the fact that he had survived a car accident. After the Second World War, the chapel was dedicated to Our Lady of Peace.
    The facade stone reads:
    ‘This chapel was founded in the year of our Lord 1939 and dedicated to Our Lady on 8 December’.


    A plaque has been placed in the chapel with the names of Moergestel residents who died in the Second World War. The chapel is located on the estate ‘De Hooge Braken’.

    Every year on Ascension Day and on 15 August (the feast of the Assumption of Mary), a Holy Mass is celebrated in the open air at the chapel. The chapel attracts many visitors every day, which is why candles are always lit. (Jozef-parochie.nl)

      The Chapel of Our Lady of Peace, hidden in the rustic nature of the Kampina near Moergestel, is a special place where silence and devotion come together. This charming little chapel, surrounded by old trees and green meadows, radiates a serene atmosphere that touches many. It was built in the 1940s as a place of prayer for peace and has since become a popular place to pause for a moment, light a candle, or simply enjoy the tranquility around you.

      The chapel is simple but atmospheric, with a statue of Mary that watches over visitors and a bench where one can pray or reflect. Hikers and cyclists in the Kampina often stop at this chapel to catch their breath and come to their senses. Especially in the early morning or during the evening twilight, the chapel has a special atmosphere, in which history, nature and spiritual meaning come together beautifully. A hidden gem in the Brabant nature that is definitely worth a visit!
