Boskapel, Baroque chapel in Buggenhout, Belgium
The Boskapel stands at the edge of Buggenhout Forest, featuring a bell tower from 1764 and terracotta reliefs depicting the Seven Sorrows of Mary on its exterior walls.
The chapel's construction began in 1504 when Jacoba van Heffene commissioned it after her husband Jan De Rijcke died during a hunting incident with a wild boar.
The chapel maintains fifteen stations of the Holy Rosary established in 1949 and houses a crowned Marian statue, recognized by papal decree in 1964.
Visitors can access the chapel through marked trails in the Brabantse Kouters walking network, which connects to the 190-hectare Buggenhout Forest trail system.
The interior preserves a baroque altar from 1680 and an organ built by Nicolaas Langlez in 1686, originally from the parish church.
