In 1890, Jeanne Cop, superior of the Maricolen Sisters, commissioned Antwerp architect Ferdinand Hompus. His task? To build a convent in a neo-traditional style.
At the rear, in a very peaceful setting, is the single-nave, neo-Gothic chapel, which dates back to 1879. Through the entrance hall with lift and the centuries-old staircase, you enter your contemporary sanctuary. Cross vaults, unique doors, dizzyingly high ceilings and natural daylight subtly filtered through the beautiful stained-glass windows.
