Rectory and Lourdes Grotto of Overwinden

Highlight • Religious Site

Rectory built at the end of the 18th century surrounded by a garden of 15.5 ares with construction of a Lourdes grotto in the 1920s; planting also from after 1920.

The rectory of Overwinden is a brick double house (five bays with the front and back doors in the middle) from the late 18th century, with one floor and windows and doors framed with white sandstone, of two floors and five bays. It probably owes its current appearance to a renovation carried out around 1900; hence the broken stone plinth, the wolf ends of the roof and the cut joints. Of the enclosure wall - partly a retaining wall because the rectory is almost 2 m above street level - only the part along the Kruisboomstraat remained. Around 1950, a garage was also built on the corner of the aforementioned street and the Pellenstraat, half incorporated into the slope. The panoramic window in the rear façade and the current roof covering (industrial cross tiles) probably also date from that period, but two small windows with the original monastery frames have been preserved in the rear façade.

The Lourdes grotto at the eastern end of the wall along the Kruisboomstraat is possibly the result of a devotional outburst in the 1920s. At 22.5 ares (including buildings), the Overwinden parish property is two-thirds smaller than most 18th-century East Brabant parsonages. Nor is there any evidence of the usual division in the region (garden, orchard, grove). The rear section was once used as a chicken run and a pear tree (Pyrus communis) and a walnut (Juglans regia) form the only utility plants. In the arrangement of the trees, a certain symmetry in relation to the house is recognizable: the two lime trees (Tilia x europaea) in the front garden and the two yews (Taxus baccata) at the end of the back garden. None of the trees are older than 1920.

Racour Station

Highlight • Monument

Never just call the former station of Racour-Landen "former station". First of all, there is the protected station itself. Secondly, thirdly, fourthly and so on, there is much more. For example, you have an orchard where you can rest and picnic and pick now and then.

There is an information board about the station and one about nature and one about Racour and one about all sorts of other things for the inquisitive among us. And then there are remnants from that station past. There is even the entire area around the station, protected as a village view. That is because of its industrial-archaeological value. But it is also simply beautiful there.

Quote: "Because of its industrial-archaeological value, the area around Racour station is also protected as a village view. In addition to the protected station building and the 'logis des piocheurs', the station master's garden with two yew trees of approximately 100 years old and the former railway bed are also part of it."

And you are close to the Waasmontse Tom. See komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7164887

Or if you want to see a somewhat older train, just walk on that path past the old station that you can admire from there. Or the miniature of the station. Or beautiful views. Or, well, there is quite a lot and something for everyone I think. Just enjoy this spot and what you see and find on a relatively small surface, for some undoubtedly a spot with multiple highlights.
