The Affligem Hermitage Chapel is a forest chapel located in the Kluizenbos forest in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Affligem. It builds on a hermitage or "cella" built in the 7th-8th century, where monks lived as hermits. It is attributed to Saint Ursmarus, abbot of Lobbes Abbey near Thuin. In the 12th century, the hermitage was inhabited by several hermits. The most important was Radulfus the Silent, who was buried in the hermitage chapel. A large part of the Kluizenbos forest became the property of Affligem Abbey in the 12th century and is listed as Affligembosch on the Ferraris map. Source Wikipedia
