The Sint-Ermeliniskapel is a chapel in the town of Meldert, part of the Flemish Brabant municipality of Hoegaarden, located on the Sint-Ermelindisstraat.
As early as the 13th century, there was a chapel at Sint-Ermelindis in Meldert. The current chapel dates from 1629 and was provided with a dormer window and baroque portal at the end of the 17th century.
The church furniture is also in baroque style with an altar from 1750 and a cenotaph from 1648 for Sint-Ermelindis with a source underneath. There are also four reliefs with episodes from the life of Sint-Ermelindis.

The initiator for the construction of the Saint Ermelindis chapel was Jacob d’Oyenbrugge, lord of Meldert. The grave of patron saint Saint Ermelindis lies beneath the chapel. On the altar and the walls you can see low and high reliefs depicting the main events of her life. The current building was built in 1629, as indicated by a date stone in the south facade.
