Saint Gerlachus Church

The Sint Gerlachuskerk is a parish church dedicated to Saint Gerlachus van Houthem and is surrounded by Chateau Sint Gerlach, the former provost and former monastery buildings. On the spot where Saint Gerlach of Houthem-Saint Gerlach once lived, a Norbertinessenklooster, a noble women's pen, was founded shortly after his death.
After Saint Gerlach's death, miracles would happen at his grave, causing people to begin to take the soil of the tomb with them. According to them, this had a beneficial effect. Today, the sacred sand is available to believers under the tomb of Saint Gerlach in the Gerlachus church. The church has unique fresco paintings and a treasury.
