Museums & Art Centres
The Heritage Centre | Sisters of Charity preserves and tells the history of the Sisters of Charity and their achievements in the field of education, health care, and welfare. By extension, we tell the story of women religious in general, of their life behind the convent walls, and of the pioneering role many of these women played in the fields of health care and education.
The Sisters of Charity of Jesus & Mary were founded in 1803 in the rural Belgian town Lovendegem by Peter Joseph Triest (1760-1836) and first mother superior Placida Van der Gauwen (1769-1844).
