Warfhuizen As A Marian Pilgrimage Site
See Our Lady of the Garden Enclosed (statue) for the main article about this topic.
Most visitors to the chapel specifically come to venerate Mary. This began after a lifesize processional statue, the 'Sorrowful mother of Warfhuizen', was placed in the chapel. The statue had such an appeal to faithful from the Netherlands and abroad, that the chapel became a pilgrimage site.
