    An artificial grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. The people's shrine was built in 1879 in Tournai natural stone, which was transported from the Scheldt in Wetteren by horse and cart. Opposite the cave, seven brick chapels were built in 1954 containing representations of the seven joys of Mary.

    The domain experienced its peak in the 1950s and 1960s when hundreds of believers attended the solemn May celebrations. In recent years, 'De Rots' has mainly become a place of silence for people who seek solace in religion and nature.
