A warm welcome

For more than 500 years, Our Lady of Everlasting Assistance has been at the centre of our pilgrimage church in Hallaar. During the Open Church Day we would like to extend our warm welcome with a beautiful exhibition about the devotion to Mary. We will show valuable documents, photographs and objects that illustrate this devotion.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help

This first Hallaic church was the chapel of the castle of the Mechelen Berthouten, which already existed in 1131. The origins of the present church date back to the 14th century and it has been dedicated to Our Lady since 1502. The church has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

In the church, there is a miraculous, clothed and kept statue of Mary with child. This statue is said to date from the 15th or 16th century.

The golden age of pilgrimage in the 17th and 18th centuries led to renovations and embellishments of the church, which was listed as a whole, together with the cemetery, in 1976.
