Tips

July 28, 2023

The monastic domain of Missiehuis De Jacht forms a characteristic ensemble consisting of a main building with a tour around an inner garden, a guest house and a farm in the south, a sick pavilion in the north and a cemetery with Lourdes grotto in the northeast of the plot. The Mission House was designed in 1927-1928 by the Heverlese architect Theo Van Dormael on behalf of the canon missionaries of Saint Augustine.

Despite the many additions to the site in the second half of the 20th century, including by Paul Van Dormael, son of Theo Van Dormael, the monastery domain has retained its authentic character. The fact that the buildings are embedded between the green foothills of Heverleebos on the one hand and fields on the other contributes to this character.
