Renkum was one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in the Middle Ages. The reason for this pilgrimage site is unknown. In 1405, Duke Reinhold V of Gerle established an Augustinian monastery here. After the Reformation, the pilgrimage stream dried up. The revered statue of Mary disappeared from Renkum, went to the Dominican nuns in Utrecht, ended up in a church attic, then with an art collector, and finally returned to Renkum in 1928. During World War II, the local pastor of Renkum saved the statue with a wheelbarrow. On May 9, 1946, it was back in the church for veneration.
