Zandoerle Village Green and WWII Cannon

Highlight • Historical Site

Zandoerle
The brink, the rectangular square of Zandoerle, is a protected village view. Six long-gabled farms surround this square planted with lime trees.
The Maria Chapel on the square is dedicated to Onze Lieve Vrouw van 't Zand.
A cannon from the Second World War has been set up in the middle of the square. This German anti-tank gun is of the type Panzer Abwehr Kanone (PAK) 40 and has a caliber of 75 mm. It was used by the Germans to shoot from Wintelre in the direction of Oerle. In September 1944 the gun was captured by the Allies and it was then placed on the square of Zandoerle during the liberation celebration of May 13, 1945.

Our Lady of 't Zand Chapel (Zandoerle)

Highlight • Religious Site

In the 12th and 13th centuries, there was already a wooden church on the square in Zandoerle. This first church was replaced by a chapel around 1250. After the Reformation, from 1672 to 1798, the chapel was used as a barn church. Roman Catholic services were held here.

The current chapel was put into use in 1807 and was restored around 1960.[1]

Since 1817, it has been customary to pray the rosary in the chapel.
