St. Joseph Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
Historical explanation: This chapel was built in 1884 as a neo-Gothic chapel by the then pastor and his sister. In the chapel hangs a foundation plaque with the text "This chapel was built by the reverend pastor Henricus Lalemant and his sister Theresia in gratitude for the good results of the election in 1884". The election that is mentioned here is that of the Catholic victory over the liberal ministry of education (School Struggle 1879-1884).
The chapel is one bay wide and three bays deep, one storey under a saddle roof. All windows and the door are pointed arches. Above the door is an elegant motif with an intertwined J and S. The chapel is surrounded by a number of lime trees and red beeches.
The interior consists of one cross vault per bay, starting from a console. Four different types of consoles were made. The entire chapel is built in bare brick. In the chapel there is a small altar with tabernacle. The altar is dedicated to Saint Joseph. The statue of Joseph and Jesus is flanked by two angels with a candlestick.

History
The parish dates back to 1234. However, we have to wait until 1310 for the name of the first pastor: Hendrik. A first parsonage building is said to have existed around 1500. Coincidentally or not, all pastors are known by name from exactly the same year. The parsonage would have been larger than it is now and equipped with a tower. The rampart would have been constructed in 1560. There would have been a piece of land with chestnut trees near the parsonage. Given the name of the district "d’Ast" (=chestnut), that is quite possible.
The gatehouse and the rampart date from the early period of the site. The gatehouse consists of a carriage gate and a pedestrian gate. Both have a segmental arch. There is a small niche above the pedestrian gate. Traces of natural stone indicate the older construction method. A small dentil runs under the saddle roof.
According to the maps drawn up by Count de Ferraris in 1771-1774, the parsonage was located deeper on the plot. Presumably, a new building was built at the front of the plot around 1830-1840 to replace the older parsonage. There is no trace of the old parsonage.
