Hidden between the trees stands this forgotten pearl of the modernism.
The pre-war rebuilding-complex De Lichtenberg was build in the 50's as a facility for education, culture, sport en religion of the Bishops College and includes among other things an open-air theatre, tenniscourts, an open-air swimmingpool and a chapel.
It was designed by architect P. Weegels, inspired by Le Corbusier and Bauhaus.
At this moment the largest part is decayed.
Only the tenniscourts are still as such in use, and the swimmingpool has been subdued and now also a tenniscourt.
Since 2006 the complex is a state-monument and there are plans for conservation of this important place.
