Description
The first Booischot chapel was built in the 15th century. Throughout the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt and enlarged. In 1856, the chapel was demolished and the construction of the current neo-Gothic church started. In the interior, we can still find several old works of art, which probably come from the former chapel. Most remarkable are the 18 obiits (mourning shields). For some years now, the church has had an antique neo-Gothic altarpiece, donated by Baron Ignace de Gruben. The restoration of the church was completed a few years ago.
