Kerselare (also Kerzelare) is a hamlet and pilgrimage site in Edelare, a village belonging to the municipality of Oudenaarde in the province of East Flanders, Belgium. Kerselare is located on the Edelareberg, the highest point of Edelare[2]

Kerselare is host to a pilgrimage chapel, which origins goes back to the 15th century.[3] A Mary statue had been placed underneath a cherry tree (Kerselaar in Dutch),[4] and several miracles had occurred.[5] Later inns were later built to the north and east of the site.[4]

A new chapel in Gothic Revival style was constructed in 1614. This chapel underwent renovation in 1887, but was destroyed by a fire in 1961. A new, post-modernic chapel building arose[6] in 1966.[5]
