This grotto dates from 1871 and is therefore one of the oldest Lourdes grottoes in Flanders. It was built by Baroness Maria Peers de Nieuwburgh in response to her devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her country house also bears witness to this devotion by placing a relatively large statue of Mary on the front facade. The grotto was restored in both 1976 and 1993.
