This Maria Park located on Fatimalaan was founded in 1935 in honor of Our Lady
of Fatima and is visited by many people who come to pray or just have some silence
Search. But how did this pilgrimage site come about? It all started with a dream of Remike Van Beirendonck in the mid-1930s. He convinced Father Dom to request permission from the diocese to 'establish a place of pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. A rather negative letter came back with many conditions and restrictions… but Remi, together with Gust Van Loock, quietly continued to lay out a first public garden in the then Vroegeinde street, now Fatimalaan.
