The St. Apollonia Chapel (also: white chapel) is an accessible chapel located at the junction of the Millerstraat and the Hoogboschveld to the east of Genoelselderen.
This is a remarkable, round chapel dating from around 1700, located on a fairly high artificial hill that was occupied with cobblestones in the 20th century. A staircase leads to the building, which is made of brick with corner bands of marlstone. The entrance lot jumps forward and is executed in marlstone. The domed roof is of later date than the construction.
The building was originally a watchtower. There are still two loopholes in the façade. During the 18th century the tower was shortened and transformed into a chapel.
