    Tips

    Behind the Sint-Hilarius church you will find a grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, enclosed by an iron fence.

    It was built after the Second World War out of gratitude, and consecrated on 19 May 1946. The grotto is built from stones from the demolished underground passages that served as a shelter at this location during the Second World War.

    In front of the grotto is a stone pulpit, which makes me suspect that prayer services are sometimes held here.

      Environmental works currently mean that the cave is somewhat separated from the church. However, it remains accessible.
