This
chapel was origionally named the Emporer's Chapel and was built in
1512. This gothic chapel is decorated with baroque styled
furniture, like the altar, the pulpit ,the confessionals and a
beautifull marble floor. This chapel was closed down by the French
at the end of the 18th century. It was the first church to be
reopened for the catholics. In the 19th century it became
private property and untill this day it is monastry chapel
from the Missionaries of Africa. At the end of the 19th century
there were some glass-stained windows added to the church which show
the life of the Virgin Mary. This chapel is also used by the English
(catholic) speaking community of Antwerp.
