This huge complex, called Juvenaat Holy Heart, was realized in the period 1903 - 1905. Here young men were educated to become priests.
The buildings were demolished in 1993. The front, which was meant to survive in a new structure, had to be broken down one year later, officially because of bad maintenance.
