The St. Anthony's Chapel is a chapel in the hamlet of Zalfen, located near Salphen, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Malle. Nearby Oostmalle was hit by a plague epidemic around 1625. Around 60 sick people reportedly fled to the heath. A certain Adriaan Mattheeusen, who lost three children to the disease, had to bury them on the heath and built a chapel for this purpose. This chapel was soon also used for funeral services, and the deceased were buried in a nearby cemetery. The chapel attracted pilgrims and was therefore expanded in 1726. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Antoniuskapel_(Zalfen)

The Van Aelst-Janssens family had this chapel built on their property in 1948. Louis was in the hospital among other terminally ill patients. He vowed, "When I get out of here, I'll build a little chapel." And so it happened. The chapel was built by Alfons Bastiaens and inaugurated on May 9, 1948, as the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Father Vervoort, a Redemptorist, delivered the special sermon. In 1960, the painting in the chapel was replaced by a statue of the Virgin Mary. The BJB boys carried out the initial renovation. By 1965, the chapel had fallen into disrepair and was emptied. In 1979, the KWB decided to completely restore the chapel and rehang the original painting, which had been in the attic of the rectory. It is still popularly called Lisa's Chapel, after Lisa Janssens, who was married to Gust Vervoort. Source: https://toerismezoersel.be/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kapelletjes-route-Zoersel.pdf

Over 25 years ago, De Wanmolen found its home in a then dilapidated farmhouse, somewhere between the Kempen Hills and the Kleine Nete valley. A common thread running through the years has been a love of wood and beautiful furniture, a focus on the plants and animals around us, recycling, and fair-trade products. Here, we sell old and new furniture and decorations, but we also thoroughly sand, stain, oil, and so on. We're constantly reimagining ourselves: how to make that old piece of furniture fresh and contemporary again, what to do with that beautiful piece of wood, which furniture we want to sell, and which products we work with.
