Cassel Village

Highlight • Settlement

Cassel is a fortified town on top of a hill and not far from the Belgian border with Poperinge (20 km). Beautiful views, cozy alleys, unique estaminets and a richly furnished museum in a historic mansion. This is in short what Cassel brings you, once you have conquered the slope from whichever side. A lot of variety with a bit of history and culture, a lot of nature and local gastronomy. Enjoyment is the motto. Highlights are there for the taking in Cassel. For some, the Musée de Flandre will be the top attraction, for others the estaminets and still others just come for the cobblestone climb. Enjoy Cassel.

't Duvelskapelletje

Highlight • Other

The Devil's Chapel or Chapel of Our Lady of Comfort of the Troubled in Boeschepe.

The story goes back to 1768 when a farmer, perhaps somewhat drunk, reportedly came face to face with the devil around midnight. The farmer managed to escape and escaped unscathed. Another version claims that the devil lived here and targeted a farmer who always had to pass this spot in the evenings. The farmer was so frightened that he always had to take a long detour to avoid it.

Finally, the farmer decided to have a chapel built on this spot and place it under the protection of Our Lady. This was done, and the devil refused to budge.

The chapel is located not far from Katsberg. Through the grille in the front door, one can see a statue of Mary with a pale, frightened face. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duivelskapel

Popularly known as the Devil's Chapel or chapel to ward off fear.
