Quite, clean and well maintained place to pray and reflect. The place is also a place of memory, dedicated to the role of the Immaculate Conception in the Miracle of Empel. The Miracle of Empel took place during the Battle of Empel in the night between the 7th and 8th December 1585. To understand what happened that night, it is important to notice that the area, like most of the West of the Netherlands, is now mostly dried and built up with houses over artificial polders. These polders were all in water and in some places they were so deep that boats could sail over. At the time, most of the West of the Netherlands were a huge swamp. This geographic area is also a religious border, where the two main Dutch religious traditions meet, the North Reformed-Calvinist and the South Catholic and it is normal to find villeages that belong to one tradition or to the other. The chapel was built in 2000, as a substitute of a chapel that was destroyed by the German Army in 1944. After visiting this chapel, I would advice to pass by the City Council of Empel, where they have in public exhibition a life size copy of the famous military paint "The Miracle of Empel" by Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau.

A small chapel but we liked to see that it is very well maintained.
