| Meulebeke has several chapels. This is one of them: the Chapel of O.L. Vrouw van Bijstand (roughly in English: Chapel of Our Mother of Assistance). It was erected in 1715 and renovated in neogotic style in the 19th century. It is a renowned pilgrimage chapel for our area. Inside there are wonderful fresco's, made by the artist Van Baevegem. Every year there is a chapel route with torches in Meulebeke. |
