Marie d'Harcourt, lady-in-waiting and member of the French royal family, is the oldest known pilgrim. At the age of 26, she made a special trip to “Maria van Renkum”. She did so in 1406 and later in 1407, 1409 and 1418. She symbolises all pilgrims who came and continue to come to Renkum. She married Reinald IV, Duke of Guelders, who had a large monastery built in our village in the Veluwe and was henceforth known as Maria van Gelre. She is depicted in her famous prayer book, which is located in Berlin.
During the day, the welcoming church and the beautiful park surrounding the building are always accessible. Every morning, coffee/tea is available for enthusiasts in the rectory next to the church building.
