The Lourdes cave is located on Landgoed Sparrendaal and it is an imitation of a cave where Mary is said to have appeared in 1858. The cave belonged to the Major Seminary Rijsenburg and the Priesthood Training (the same major seminar I talked about earlier). The large one was built in 1900. When the major seminary was closed in 1968, the statue of Mary disappeared. After that, the building no longer had any function and was neglected. The cave was renovated around 2015 and again equipped with a statue of Mary.
