Description

The picturesque church of St. John in Eremo dates from 1682 and is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. There was already a church here in 984, but it was destroyed during the St. Elizabeth's Flood of 1377. The Outer Procession in Seven Stations illustrates the life of John the Baptist. Prayers were said against ailments such as the convulsions, the 'seskens' and the falling sickness. Opposite the church are 'Pinte ende Sproete', two daughters of the rooster Cantecleer from the Reynaert story. A print by Reynaert is imprinted in the column. Originally, this town was called Sint-Jansdorp, later the term 'in eremo' was added, Latin for 'in the desert'.
