    St. Michael's church... North-east oriented, neoclassical parish church from the first half of the 19th century, located in a bend of the Bollestraat, at the intersection with the Kapelleweg. The church is surrounded by a walled cemetery

      In the shadow of St. Michael's Church you can find Tommy in the corner of the cemetery.
      Tommy is an English soldier who ended up in Terlanen during WWII. His statue was made by... German soldiers! They were prisoners of war in the upper camp in Terlanen, where you now find Kamp Kwadraat. No less than 60,000 German soldiers were imprisoned here!


      In various places you can find information boards that tell the story of the POW camp.

        In the civil cemetery, in the corner are located
        fifteen Commonwealth war graves of which only six were
        attribution. These war victims fell in the May days of 1940
        when it was still thought to protect Brussels with the help of the English and French
        and stop the Germans along the 'Iron Wall', a line of defense that ran
        from Koningslo to Wavre.
        Unfortunately, they lost their lives and will rest here forever in the shadow of Saint Michael.
