The ice cellar with pavilion to the southeast of the castle dates from the fourth quarter of the 19th century and was converted into a chapel (the so-called Forest Chapel) shortly before the inventory (1997)... The octagonal pavilion of brick and knotty wood stands on a plinth of local iron sandstone and has a bitumen roof... The simply plastered interior contains recovered neo-Gothic high reliefs, probably from a West Flemish abbey... The stained glass windows come from an unspecified demolished Walloon church...
