Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe ter Eik

The oak tree within the church houses a statue of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by detailed architectural elements and devotional offerings from pilgrims.

The site's origins trace back to the 13th century when a statue of Mary was discovered in an oak tree, leading to the construction of a chapel in 1269.

The church maintains traditional Marian devotions throughout the year, with special ceremonies during May and August attracting thousands of pilgrims.

The building provides space for regular religious services, individual prayer sessions, and accommodates large groups during annual pilgrimage events.

The original medieval statue made from clay pipe material remains preserved within the church, continuing centuries of veneration at this location.
