A romantic place on the Scheldedijk where lovers can relax in the shade of the lime tree.

The lime tree with a Mariaka apple on the tree.
Lovers from all over the world found and still find each other under this tree. You can hang a love lock on the work of art.

Attaching a Marian chapel to a tree is an old custom that dates back to when people still honored the Germanic goddess Freya.
Freya was the goddess of love, justice, domestic happiness and fertility.
