Jeruzalemkapel (Jerusalem Chapel)
The Jerusalem Chapel, located on the Adornes estate, is the private chapel of the noble Genoese Adornes merchant family. It was consecrated in 1429 and was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The oriental-style architecture, furnishings and special relics, such as the Holy Cross, show the Adornes family's great reverence for Jerusalem. The tomb in Tournai stone of Anselm Adornes and his wife Margareta van der Banck was restored in 2022. The beautiful stained-glass windows representing members of the Adornes family are still the original ones, which is a unique feature.
The de Limburg Stirum family, descendants of Anselm Adornes, still uses the chapel for religious events. Classical concerts or lectures on heritage and art are also held here occasionally. Ultimately, the family's mission is to preserve the heritage and make it a dedicated space for dreaming and shaping the future.
