Tips

The Mission House of the Society for African Missions has been significantly reduced in size, and most of the view now faces the De Keerderberg nursing home. sevagram.nl/onze-locaties/de-keerderberg

Besides a Way of the Cross, there are also burial places of former S.M.A. employees, chapels, and more.

In addition to a view of Maastricht, you also have a view of the vineyard and a golf course adjacent to the estate.

Accessible via an entrance on the road from Maastricht to Vaals, as well as via higher roads and paths from Cadier en Keer.

On the grounds, you'll find a Lourdes grotto, built around 1892, making it one of the oldest Lourdes grottoes in the Netherlands.

Behind it stands a detached chapel with a rectangular floor plan, a single story, and a gable roof with slates in Maas style. The building materials used are brick and marl. The door is a round-arched wooden structure. The front facade ends in a gable with a round-arched niche and is crowned with a cross.

The fourteen detached Stations of the Cross are hexagonal chapels, built of marl and featuring wrought-iron fencing dating from 1947, which replaced the wooden doors. Arched friezes adorn the base of the battlements. A few narrow rectangular windows are located above the rectangular entrance. A decorative cross-shaped ornament adorns the top of the chapel. Each chapel contains a relief depicting one of the fourteen events from the Passion.

The Cadier en Keer Stations of the Cross Garden, located in Cadier en Keer in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten, was created in 1892 on the slopes of the Keerderberg hill west of Maastricht. It is an oval-shaped garden designed as a park with fourteen Stations of the Cross, a Lourdes grotto, and a chapel.
The Stations of the Cross are arranged along the paths of the small park, which is bordered to the north by a stone wall, lawns, and stands of trees. The Stations are made of sandstone, have a hexagonal base, and a flat top with battlements. The original wooden doors of the fourteen chapels have been replaced by cast-iron gates. Each chapel is decorated with a relief depicting one of the fourteen scenes from the Passion.

The park is owned by the Dutch Province of the Society for African Missions, which is also responsible for its maintenance.
