    Today we can easily get through the gate, but in the past this was different.
    History:
    The Poor Man's Gate, which provides access to the monastery grounds of St. Bernardus Abbey, played an important role in the 18th century for the needy from the wider area around the abbey. There is a chapel attached to the gate in which the poor first attend a mass before receiving alms or bread. In the past, mass distributions of herring and bread to the poor were organized on Maundy Thursday and All Souls' Day. But even in times of famine, such as in 1698, there is a rush here.
