| Once an out-of-the-way chapel, now
lying in a recently built housing estate yet keeping its original
appearance being excluded from the built up area by some fields
and the surrounding low wall. The chapel is dedicated to St. Margaret
of Antioch. Little is known about this saint though she may have
died a martyr at about the year 303 A.D. She is invoked especially
by women who are about to give birth. The chapel which is very
small, was already erected in 1577, yet it seems that it was rebuilt
in 1771. The chapel is also part of a small cemetery which holds
the victims of the 1592 plague. The chapel is interesting yet quite
bare, though it is well kept and in a picturesque setting.
