The Plancquaert Chapel was built at the end of the 19th century in honor of Georges Plancquaert, born in 1885, uncle of Monsieur De Boeck, and the only surviving child of a family of seven. It is a small chapel with a chamber—or fixed altar—dedicated to the Infant Jesus of Prague. The procession formerly stopped there on August 15th and Corpus Christi (June 20th). Originally, the chapel's façade was located directly on the street, and the aedicule was included in the property of the town clerk Jean-Baptiste Nélis, who built his house there in 1856. The property then passed to the Plancquaerts before remaining in the De Boeck family's possession to this day.

Sometimes busy, but otherwise ideal for a bit of acceleration. But if you really want to, the small roads around it are much nicer in terms of views.
