Lourdesgrot, Lourdes grotto in Amsterdam-Oost, Netherlands.
The Lourdesgrot features a constructed cave design made with chicken wire, textiles, and cement, crafted to resemble natural stone formations.
This religious monument, part of the Sint Elisabeth Gesticht complex, represents the Catholic traditions that spread across Europe during the 19th century.
The grotto contains a statue of the Virgin Mary, replicating the original Lourdes site where Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
Located near Oosterpark at 's-Gravesandestraat 51, the grotto remains accessible for visitors as part of a hotel property since 1992.
The structure earned Rijksmonument status for its rare example of cement rustic work, executed as a garden folly in the shape of a rock with cave.
