The Sint Maartens Chapel (or Chapel of Hoogelande) on the Hoogelandseweg is hidden behind tall trees. 1189 received the residents of Hoogelande from the Bishop of Utrecht permission to build a church. The village and church were destroyed in the Eighty Years War (1568-1648). A ruin of the church remained, which was expanded into a real chapel in 1964-65.
