Chapel Ten Vorsel is a Protestant chapel, the only one in the Netherlands.
The chapel was built in 2008 at the request of the then manager of the estate, Arie van Eijk. When he retired, he did not want a gold watch but a chapel, a refuge for the children.
The chapel is named after Francis of Assisi, because of the bond he had with children and nature.
A Protestant chapel in Catholic Brabant. A client who does not need a gold watch, no bonus, but asks for a chapel as a retreat for children.

This chapel was built in 2006 by volunteers and with the help of donations on the occasion of the departure of the manager of Ten Vorsel, Mr A. van der Eijk. The architect of the chapel is Mr. W. Kramer from Amersfoort. Stained glass windows were made by Mr J. Peijnenburg from Oostelbeers and depict the life of Franciscus of Assisi.
