According to legend, Dimpna and Gerebernus would have lived in a hut in Zammel for several months. A chapel was built near this hut in the mid-17th century. This was soon too small, given the large number of pilgrims. The construction of a larger chapel was therefore started in 1692 and thoroughly rebuilt and restored in 1780. In the chapel is an altar with a statue of Saint Dimpna dating from 1711. The old well next to the chapel was visited by pilgrims in the Middle Ages because of the healing water that it would contain. The linden tree for the chapel door is said to have been planted around 1670.
