General information about St. Louis Chapel

The Kapel Saint-Louis site in Guémy comprises the remains of an old chapel (15th century) located on a high hill. Built in Gothic style using soft limestone. The chapel is located along walking route GR 145 Via Francigena. There is a beautiful viewpoint (360° view) from this 120 m high hill. This site is known to quite a few Flemish people because in 2002 the VRT series "Wim's Gang" (Wim Opbrouck, Jean Blaute, and Michiel Hendryckx) settled there.

Visitor tips for St. Louis Chapel

General tips:
1) if you are looking for other nearby attractions, consult our Tourist map of Top.Vlaanderen.
2) You can consult our overview lists: by category ( e.g. timeline, size, ...) or by region
3) You can also always consult tourist services: see our overview of tourist services

Tip for photographers: this popular spot can be quite "crowded": families gather there, wildlife campers, sun set spotters, and so on. There is not much chance that you will be alone (at least in the summer months when the weather is nice). It might be better to plan a visit early in the morning or very late in the evening (or at night) if you want to capture panoramic views with the chapel.

Tip: Do you like chapels? Then be sure to visit the chapel in the forest of Tournehem-sur-le-Hem. It is only 8 kilometers away.
