    Chapel, reportedly on the site of the former church, built in 1973 by Pastor Meeüs.
    Brick chapel on rectangular plan with wider protruding front facade and slate saddle roof; image "Boerenoorlogsoldaat" in the keystone and the motto in the window sill by the hand of sculptor Edward Nootens.

    Hiking

    Following ancient custom, five lime trees were planted near the chapel "Voor alder en hartd" (For altar and hearth). Of these, four trees remain, while the fifth is still present as a stockpile. This last one is managed as coppice and is located behind the chapel. Together, the chapel trees form a beautifully developed, iconic group of trees. At the time of the inventory, all the trees had trunk circumferences exceeding 2 m (227, 206, 200, and 206 cm), and there was considerable growth at the base of the trunks.
