Old Things

'Tomb Chapel Pottelsberghe de la Potterie
The funeral chapel is neo-gothic. She was built with salvaged materials from the medieval St. Gertrude Kirk (demolished in 1866). The chapel is the burial of eight members of the noble family Pottelsberghe de la Potterie. This tomb is the last remnant of the old cemetery, vacated in 1950.'

That is what the sign is stating in Dutch (thank you, Google Translate). We went for a walk with the kids the other day and this shabby and weather-worn structure caught my eye. It's hidden down a road we were passing and it just begged to have it's picture taken. A little creepy, huh?
