Berlinde is a toponym and refers to 'berre' or barre linde. So there used to be a dry linden or one without leaves at this location.

In 1623, Jan De Croock was paid for making a tree chapel. The stone chapel came after a petition from 1670 by Jan Eeghers, mayor of Laarne. An extension on the south side in 1774 gave the chapel its current form with an entrance portal and rood screen. Many parts of the interior are still authentic, such as the joinery and carpentry of the entrance door, the baluster railing of the rood screen and the plastered vault. The current bell tower replaces an older one. On the other side of the chapel is a cozy café with a terrace (De Berre Linde, formerly café De Kapelle).
