    The Grotto of Mary in Olsene is one of the earliest examples of a local interpretation of a Lourdes Grotto. The cave was dedicated on May 28, 1876. After almost 150 years, the Maria Grotto of Olsene has been thoroughly restored and inaugurated on April 30, 2023.

    According to local residents, at the back of the cave there is said to be an entrance to a tunnel that leads directly to Olsene Castle. No entrance has been found so far.

      Lourdes grotto (local interpretation of the grotto in Lourdes) founded and consecrated in 1876, which was built in the context of the enormous devotion to Mary at the end of the 19th century (also and especially in Flanders), where numerous Mary processions took place in the month of May.
