Saint Anne Chapel

Saint Anne Chapel is a small church with Gothic design elements located in Molenschot in the Netherlands. A Neogothic statue of Saint Anne and Mary from 1890 sits in the forecourt, welcoming those who enter to pray or light candles.

The building was constructed in the early 1500s as a place of worship for the local community. It underwent major restoration work in 1960 to protect its historic structure and architectural details for future generations.

The chapel draws visitors who come to light candles and ask for blessings, especially on the feast day of Saint Anne on July 26. The place has a living tradition where people bring their personal hopes to the saint and leave offerings as signs of their devotion.

The chapel is open during daytime hours for visitors, though specific times may vary by season and local events. It is a good idea to check ahead before visiting to make sure you can access the interior, especially if traveling from a distance.

The chapel has a curious local tradition where young people came seeking the help of Saint Anne in finding romantic partners. This custom reveals how personally meaningful the shrine was to the community beyond typical religious observance.
