Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Noord-Brabant
Holy Well dedicated to saint Willibrord, who is said to have baptised Saxons with water from here. Earliest mentions in the 14th century, though there were archeological finds that hint back to the 9th century, with an old hollowed oak tree that ran three meters deep. Site of pilgrimage and healing water. The well ran dry a long time ago.
