The plan to build this cave came about during a cabin pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1952. The cave was solemnly inaugurated on 15 August 1954 by Monsignor Cardijn, founder of the Catholic Workers' Youth. Every year on this date a special mass is held especially for the elderly, the sick and the disabled. Many comfort seekers come here daily to pray. The Lourdes cave and the Kruisweg are located in a green setting on the edge of the 's Gravenbos.
