Tips

September 8, 2024

A gem in the hamlet of Bos, which became the independent municipality of Helen-Bos in 1794 and is a sub-municipality of Zoutleeuw.

The Gothic chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. The monastic community of the Seven Sorrows in Bossche grew up around this church. During the religious wars, the monastery was destroyed and the sisters found shelter in the Bethania monastery in Leeuwse in 1584.

The chapel has a single-aisled nave, a short transept and a rectangular closed choir. Typical is the alternation between sandstone and brick.

The front facade is partly built of tuff stone. The Gothic entrance door is decorated with an arch field with trefoil. Above it is a sculpted Christ and the year 1559.

Also inside the chapel are several works of art from the 16th century such as the piscina niche in the choir, the holy water font and the crucifix above the altar. This crucifix in polychrome wood shows the evangelists at the end of the arms.

Saint Laurentius Church...
The small church consists of a single nave of two bays, surmounted by a slate-clad bell tower (18th century). The square choir, with adjacent eastern sacristy, dates from the 16th century. The choir is vaulted with a wooden barrel vault in late Gothic style (second half of the 16th century). Against the wall of the nave is the baroque tombstone of pastor A. Milemans (died 1667). In the church there are two side altars (18th) and a baptismal font (16th century). The statue of Jesus on the Cross is from the second half of the 16th century.
