Praubstraat 23-25 In her will, Anna van Haerst stipulated that upon her death, a hospice should be established for women of the serving class. It was to be named after her husband, Emmanuel. When she died in 1639, nine women were housed in this building. This number grew to 23 when the adjacent property at Praubstraat 21 was purchased in 1882. By the end of the last century, the buildings were no longer suitable for modern elderly care. The sandstone gate was only added to the building at the end of the 20th century. This gate came from the demolished Reformed Orphanage on Bitterstraat. Two orphans are depicted on this gate.

The stream is beautiful, but please note that free cycling in the Leuvenumse Bossen is no longer permitted everywhere since 2025. The path along the stream is unfortunately no longer accessible to cyclists. 🚳

Great 360 Panorama from this 'Mountain'! I spent 10 minutes picking up trash here, stuck in the Heather around. Please clean up after yourself so everyone can enjoy the spot :)

There is a sign here that cycling is not allowed. That's why I cycled around today, outside the grazing area.
