St. John's Church was founded in the 13th century and is primarily known as a place of pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of St. John. In 1479, through her intercession, a miracle occurred, which led to the annual Marian Procession. The white stone Calvary is a replica of the original wooden statues, which can now be seen in the winter chapel.

The Sint-Janskerk was built in the 13th century. The church is best known as a place of pilgrimage of Our Lady of Saint John. Thanks to her, a miracle took place in 1479 that forms the basis of the annual Maria-Ommegang. The calvary in white stone is a copy of the earlier wooden statues that now decorate the winter chapel.
