This small baroque chapel is dedicated to Saint Hubertus, patron saint of hunters and gamekeepers, and thus refers to the former function of the park: it was once a hunting ground for the nobility. According to legend, it was built on the spot where the saint died.
The chapel served as a place of worship for Tervuren Castle, one of the most important castles of the Dukes of Brabant.

The Saint-Hubertus Chapel is a chapel in the Park of Tervuren in the Belgian Tervuren. The chapel is a baroque castle chapel of the former Castle of Tervuren. It was built in 1617 according to plans by Wenceslas Cobergher on behalf of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. Cobergher replaced the wooden chapel in front of the drawbridge with the current stone structure. According to legend, Saint Hubertus died at this location.

The veneration of Saint Hubert in Tervuren, the presumed place of death of the patron saint of hunters, dates back to at least the 16th century and is probably even older. Every year on the last Sunday in October, an open-air mass is celebrated there in honor of Saint Hubert, and horses and dogs are blessed to protect them from running amok.
