Landhuis ’t Kervel

Some passed the time by building a shelter for 22 people beneath the vaulted cellar. The hiding place could be accessed through a slab behind the fireplace as well as via the chicken coop outside. It was clever – but ultimately, it went wrong. All those in hiding were captured and deported to German concentration camps. Afterwards, the house was used as a boarding school and later as an emergency hospital for evacuees. And after the war... it became the party venue for one of the nurses who married a Canadian soldier.
