In mei 1943 stelde mgr. Frencken de Princenhaagse gezinnen onder bijzondere bescherming van Maria en werd de belofte gedaan na de oorlog een kapel te bouwen, toegewijd aan de H.Maagd, koningin van de Vrede

Nadat het geld voor de kapel door Princenhage was bijeengebracht werd deze op 11 september 1949 met een plechtig lof ingewijd.

Architect Frans Mol heeft de kapel ontworpen. Het Mariabeeld met kind op de arm is door de Bredase beeldhouwer Frans Verhaak vervaardigd.

vijftig jaar na de bevrijding van Princenhage op 29 oktober 1994 is door twee van onze bevrijders ( de heren Kwaler en Lewicz ) uit dank aan de Polen de plaquette onthuld.

----------------
In May 1943, Bishop Frencken put the Princenhage families under the special protection of Mary and promised to build a chapel after the war, dedicated to the Holy Virgin, Queen of Peace.

After the money for the chapel was raised by Princenhage, it was consecrated on 11 September 1949 with a solemn prayer.

Architect Frans Mol designed the chapel. The statue of Mary with a child on her arm was made by Breda sculptor Frans Verhaak.

Fifty years after the liberation of Princenhage on 29 October 1994 two of our liberators (Mr Kwaler and Mr Lewicz) unveiled the plaque in gratitude to the Poles.
