Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Kerselarekapel, Brutalist chapel in Kerselare, Belgium
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Kerselarekapel displays raw concrete forms with a sloping single-pitch roof extending into a concrete canopy at the entrance.
After a fire destroyed the original Gothic chapel in 1961, architects Juliaan Lampens and Rutger Langaskens designed this modern structure completed in 1964.
The chapel maintains the 15th-century polychrome Madonna statue from the Mechelen Saint Luke's Guild, which survived the 1961 fire.
The interior space accommodates up to 1500 visitors during pilgrimages, with the altar visible from every corner of the concrete structure.
The chapel's architectural design creates unexpected acoustic properties, optimizing sound experiences during religious services through its concrete surfaces.
