At the end of the 13th century, a 'hospice' was built on the orders of a noble lady who lived here. It served simultaneously as a hospital and as a convent for the Augustinian Sisters, who were responsible for the care of the sick. Except for a brief interruption during the French Revolution, they continued to do so until the early 1980s. By then, the hospital had been transformed into a retirement and nursing home. After the sisters left, the retirement home was taken over by the local government.

The showpiece of the monastery was this late Gothic chapel, erected in the early 17th century. For a long time, it served as a place of pilgrimage for the healing of intestinal ailments. Part of the monastery was destroyed in a fire in the early 2000s, but fortunately, the chapel was spared. In its current state, the chapel consists of two parts: the original chapel, constructed in the late Gothic style from brick and blue limestone, and an annex in Neoclassical style, dating from the mid-19th century. It formed a physical connection between the existing chapel and the hospital, allowing patients to attend services from the balcony.

At the back of the chapel, on the left, one can still see the old refectory, also constructed of brick and bluestone with a beautiful vintage facade from the early 17th century.
