Tips

March 17, 2024

Around the turn of the century, a small chapel was erected near the castle ruins that once stood on the site of the current Warandebos, at the intersection of the Kerkvoetweg and the Dorpveldweg. On the corner opposite the chapel, a rising pedunculate oak was planted as a corner tree. A sign is attached to the facade of the chapel with the inscription 'The last defenders of the County of Loon fell here in 1365'. The inscription recalls the siege and destruction of the 14th-century castle. Immovable Heritage Inventory 2024: Rummen Castle, id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/303934

Small chapel in honour of the last soldiers of the County of Loon before it was taken by the Prince-Bishop of Liège in the 14th century.
