Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel

Basilica founded on the place where a little statue of Our Lady was found in a tree (1304).
This building was an act of thanksgiving by our governors the Duke and Duchess Albrecht and
Isabella for the Peace of Westfalen (Munster) in 1648, the end of the 30 year war between
Catholics and Protestants. It was run until the French Revolution by the Oratorian Fathers of
Phillipus Neri.
