The Loreto Chapel is located just outside Thorn. It is a beautiful place to visit and light a candle if you wish. Next to the chapel is a B&B where you can drink a cup of coffee.

Amazing how they capture the heat from the candles to warm the chapel

The Loretokapel or Kapel Onder de Linden is a chapel in Thorn, located at Kapel 4.
History
The chapel was built in 1673 by order of Clara Elisabeth van Manderscheidt Blankenheim, who was canon at Thorn Abbey. It is a so-called Loreto chapel, modeled after the house of Mary, as according to legend it was brought by angels to the town of Loreto in 1291.
In 1796 the French seized the church property, but in 1803 the chapel was bought back by Canon Broeckmeulen. After his death in 1822 the chapel came to the parish.
