One of the biggest hidden gems within Halderberge is the Grote Cour and Saint Louis Chapel in Oudenbosch! The former boys' boarding school Saint Louis is one of Oudenbosch's largest structures.
The monastic order was founded in 1840 to teach Oudenbosch youth, but it soon became a popular school and this boys' boarding school enjoyed national fame. Students came from all over the country because of the high quality of education.
The chapel that completes this grand Cour has a façade of St John of Lateran and the dome is a copy of St Peter's in Rome.
A visit to the Grand Cour and the Chapel of Saint Louis is worthwhile. This hidden gem lends itself ideally to taking a unique selfie or group photo. The complex is currently being restored to its former glory. The dome, meanwhile, has been unpacked and provides a sparkle you cannot miss. We can't wait until hopefully later in the year the complete chapel is out of the scaffolding!
