Scherpenheuvel-Zichem: Major Marian Pilgrimage Site
With about 24,200 inhabitants (2025) over 51.15 km², Scherpenheuvel-Zichem is a Flemish municipality of Flemish Brabant. It comprises five sections: Scherpenheuvel, Zichem, Averbode, Messelbroek and Testelt.
Religious significance
The city is renowned for the Basilica of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel, centred around the legend of a miraculous statue of the Virgin suspended in a tree. It is one of Belgium’s most important Marian pilgrimage sites. The site attracts pilgrims annually, with festivities in May and the famous candlelit procession (“Kaarskensprocessie”) in November.
