Greetings apartment. She lived here until 1971, when someone decided to attack her in her house. She was shocked and moved to a rest home at the age of 84. Where she died at the age of 94.

Greetje lived here until 1971. In a house that had been (largely) carved out of the quarry on behalf of her father. You can also see remains of the house outside the quarry. Dwellings in marl pits were generally not uncommon in the past. Just take a look near Meerssen and Valkenburg, for example. Greetje's story is told using an information board.
