    Tips

    April 8, 2023

    At the place where the monumental church now stands, there was already a pilgrimage chapel dedicated to Leonardus at the time of the Crusades. This was part of the Sint-Michielskerk in Brecht. In the beginning there were no masses in the prayer house, but in 1262 the bishop of Cambrai gave permission to appoint a chaplain who was charged with reading four masses a week. The village center of “Sint-Lenaarts” was initially called “Houthoven”, but due to the veneration of Sint-Leonardus in the chapel, his name became characteristic of the village over time and the original name fell into disuse.
