Marollenkapel

The Marollenkapel stands at the highest point between Grote Gete and Molenbeek-Menebeek, surrounded by elder trees, ash trees, and maple trees.

Built in 1832 by the Sisters of Mariadal, the chapel remained under their care until 1970 when it transferred to private ownership, later acquired by Flemish Land Agency.

The name Marollenkapel stems from a folk modification of 'Maricollen,' referring to the religious order of sisters who constructed the religious building.

Located at an elevation of 104 meters, the chapel features benches, an observation point with orientation table, and maintained grass areas for visitors.

The chapel grounds serve as a preferred location for stargazing events due to minimal light pollution and favorable atmospheric conditions.
