Tips

Willem VS

February 22, 2021

An officer passing through Villers on his way to the battlefield in Germany promised to build a chapel in honor of the Virgin when he returned from the war. Having been lucky enough to escape death, he later returned with an ancient statue rescued from a fire. Poor, he settled near the abbey and lived as a hermit for several years, begging to collect the amount needed to carry out his wish and have the chapel built.
The chapel was built in 1731, as evidenced by the vintage engraving on the pediment and the chronogram that adorns the cartouche below the niche.
It then quickly became a place of pilgrimage.
