Cemetery friars

Right against the Arboretum is the cemetery of the Brothers of Saint Louis. The first brothers were still buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery, but soon they wanted their own cemetery....

That came in 1890, when the founders of the
fraternal congregation, pastor Willem Hellemons and Father
Vincent, a monument was erected. This monument
was donated by a number of former students of Saint
Louis. You can see it right at the entrance. On a medallion are
their faces depicted. Johannes Huybrechts, or Father
Vincent is buried below. He was the first superior
of the congregation
