Art Deco chapel built in 1933 for the brewer Louis Steeman and his wife Alice Baeten to a design by the Ghent architect Adrien Bressers, and inaugurated on 27 February 1934 (or 19 March 1934, depending on the source). It served as a rest stop for the 15 August procession. Rectangular in plan under a steep roof, it features distinctive brick bonding, a door with geometric stained glass and an interior with stencilled paintings and an Art Deco tiled floor. It has been a protected monument since 2014.
