Our-Lady-of-Fatima Chapel

The Our Lady of Fatima Chapel is a chapel in Veulen in the Dutch North Limburg municipality of Venray. The chapel is located on Kooiweg, near the spot where this road meets Lorbaan. About 600 meters to the northwest stands the Saint Donatus and Anthony Chapel. In 1944, Grad Reintjes and Nella Versteegen promised Mary to build a chapel if their family of eleven children came through the war unscathed. Not long before this promise, a raid had taken place on Lorbaan, during which two sons of the family managed to hide just in time in the hayloft. As a result, the sons were not deported to Germany. The family's farm was damaged during the war and was shot up, but all thirteen family members survived the war. After the war, the family had the farm rebuilt and also requested a quotation for a chapel to be built. Initially, the construction was opposed by the rector, but when he was succeeded, the chapel could still be built. The chapel was built in 1960.
