Saint Anthony's chapel, Religious chapel in Leuven, Belgium
Saint Anthony's Chapel stands on Father Damien Square, featuring a modern architectural design with concrete walls softened by natural materials throughout its structure.
The chapel, established in 1617, underwent major renovations in 1961, transforming from its original Gothic style while preserving select historical elements from the 14th century.
The permanent exhibition within the chapel presents Father Damien's missionary work through photographs and correspondence, illustrating his dedication to helping others.
Visitors can explore the chapel and its exhibitions daily between 9:00 and 18:00, with free admission and informative panels in multiple languages.
The chapel houses Father Damien's crypt, transferred from Molokai in 1936, and displays a tapestry created for the 1937 Paris Universal Exhibition.
