Events Open Churches Days 2025

  • 31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2025
    On the occasion of the Open Churches Days, some old liturgical vestments are on display. The beautiful multicoloured embroidery deserves to be brought out of the darkness (for a while). In addition, the statues of saints that were taken from the attic and given a place of honour in our church also deserve special attention. They are masterpieces of woodcarving art.

But, for the occasion of Open Churches Days, we found enough beautiful treasures in our attics to fill several more exhibition cabinets in the large choir of the Basilica. Exceptionally, the choir will then...
