In 1902, a chapel built by the heirs of the de Mûelenaere family, one of the most important families in 19th-century Pittem, in gratitude for the healing of a sick child.
This influential family provided, among others, Joannes de Mûelenaere, mayor from 1820 to 1842 and was also represented in national politics.
The chapel may be dedicated to the Sacred Heart, but the series of statues in the chapel could cause some confusion: above the statue of the Sacred Heart, you will find crucifixes and several statues of Our Lady (with Child).
