    The Saint Roch Chapel of the Koepoort was built in 1920 by clog maker Alfons Cauberghe. His daughter Leonza was very ill and had to have a lung puncture at a time when there were no antibiotics yet. She hovered between life and death for a long time. And father Cauberghe promised to build a chapel in honor of Saint Roch if she recovered, which is what happened. The location is also important. It was part of the Spanish strongholds that were built here in 1671 (the citadel) that was demolished by the Austrians shortly afterwards and through which the Tienen - Sint-Truiden railway line, which has also disappeared, later ran.
