cycling tour 'on the way to faith' with Gilde De Baronie

Religion was very important to people in the Middle Ages. That is why many churches were present in every town. Guilds often had their own chapel within the church! Children played inside, and dogs and cats roamed around. In the Roman Catholic church, a chapel usually refers to a small place of worship with modest dimensions. Generally, a chapel is not used for Mass, but rather for individual devotion. Such a chapel, often referred to as a field chapel or pilgrimage chapel, is a place for reflection or piety and sometimes serves as a stopping point during processions. Many chapels were built at sites where a miracle was said to have occurred. On All Souls’ Day, you can explore and experience part of the history with a guide from Gilde De Baronie.
