History[edit]
There was once another chapel in front of the current chapel. This was first built in 1668 but was demolished in 1697. Previously (possibly) the Chapel of Our Lady ten Riemen was located; these belonging to the Catharinists. The current chapel was built in 1894, to a design by Jules Goethals. The chapel has a surrounding garden with a cast iron fence.[1]
The name Meuleschette (in Molenschette) dates back to 1313, and refers to a water mill on the Siesegembeek.[2][self-published source]
Since 14 September 2009, the chapel has been regarded as immovable heritage of Flanders.[1]
