Juliaan Lampens: Kapel van Kerselare, 1964–1966

  • Oudenaarde, Belgium, Show on map
  • #REL #Western Europe
  • A pilgrimage chapel by Juliaan Lampens in Kerselare, Belgium, near Oudenaarde, beautifully situated on a hill. (Written by Raphael Roesler)

  • The chapel has a protected heritage status since 2009. 

    The building was expected to be falling apart because of serious problems of its static. Therefore, yellow struts were placed to support the roof. However, a study by the architectural engineering faculty of the university of Ghent proved the chapel to be in much better state than expected, removing the need for such struts. They have been removed as of January 2020. Special Thanks to Hannah Nelis!
