Our Lady the Garden Enclosed

The Roman Catholic hermitage includes a chapel with a life-size statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, created by Spanish sculptor Miguel Bejarano Moreno.

Established in 2001 within a former Reformed church, the hermitage became a pilgrimage destination in 2003 when the Marian statue was installed.

The statue's mantles, designed by Groninger fashion designer Ramiro Koeiman, combine Andalusian and Dutch Catholic traditions through their intricate patterns and materials.

Visitors can participate in daily Eucharistic adoration and Rosary prayers at 4 pm, as authorized by the Bishop of Groningen-Leeuwarden since 2009.

The hermitage maintains a tradition where pilgrims exchange personal handkerchiefs with the one held by the statue for those facing difficulties.
