Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married...

Bells will ring, the sun will shine, whoa-oh-oh
I'll be his and he'll be mine
We'll love until the end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore because
Because we're goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married...

The origin of the current chapel is in the 15th century. It was a kind of field chapel with an altar for the residents and tenants of Mariënweerd Abbey.
This 15th-century chapel probably also had a predecessor, perhaps even from the early 12th century, the early days of the abbey.
When public practice of the Roman Catholic religion was banned after 1648, the architectural condition of the chapel quickly went downhill. In a drawing by Jan de Beijer from 1746, we see the chapel as a dilapidated ruin.

After a reconstruction and a thorough restoration, the chapel has now been restored to its former glory. Nowadays you can get married there...
