The neo-Gothic CHAPEL on the Roman Catholic cemetery behind the Roman Catholic church St. Joseph on the Hamersveldseweg was built in 1916 to a design by the architect H. Kroes. The chapel is situated at the end of the main axis in the south-eastern corner of the cemetery. The chapel has a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross and has a basement. The roof, covered with slates in Maasdekking, consists of two intersecting saddle roofs with a roof turret at the intersection. A zinc finial has been placed on the four ridge ends. The facades are built of gray brick in cross bond. The four gables are flanked by a cut buttress that ends in a pinnacle. The pinnacles are provided with a crowning with a chevron-shaped ornament similar to that on the entrance gate to the cemetery. The front (west side) contains a large pointed arch opening with a frame in red brick. Above the opening is a medallion with a representation of the resurrection of Christ. Around the medallion and along the roof edge is a band of decorative brickwork in red brick. A partly natural stone pavement leads to the opening, closed off by a two-winged, rotating iron bar gate with a narrow, fixed fence on either side. The connecting posts of the gate are crowned with ornaments in Art Nouveau style. The central post is provided with a cross.

Sober, characteristic work in the oeuvre of the Oldenzaal architect Clemens Hardeman in the late neo-Gothic style.

The St. Joseph Chapel in Melissant was put into use on 14 November 1900. Until then, the Roman Catholics of the village had to rely on the parish church in Middelharnis. The construction of the chapel and residence was financed by the diocese of Haarlem, under which the South Holland islands belonged at the time, from a legacy received from the estate of Baron RHI van Brienen and from several creations. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
