Hiking

The chapel in the Putstraat was founded in 1886 by the Robyns family for their brother Frans. At the time, he was struck by insanity after an assault, according to an article from 1997 by the Heemkundige Kring De Faluintjes. For centuries, prayers have been addressed to Saint Dymphna for the healing of people with mental illness. And everyone, from afar or nearby, has to deal with psychological problems.
