On the corner of Brouwerijstraat and Felix Verhaeghestraat is the chapel of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Troost, popularly known as Belle Maries Kapelle. The chapel was built in 1857, at the request of Isabella Rosa Brugge or Belle Marie. Isabella was born in Vichte in 1806. She was a home nurse for many sick people in Waregem who had been struck by typhoid, plague and consumption during the famine of 1845-1846. Belle Marie herself died of typhoid in 1866 and is buried in the cemetery Den Olm. During the First World War, the statue of Mary was stolen from the chapel. In 2007, Belle Maries Kapelle was thoroughly renovated.
