Field Gun outside the TJaegershof Restaurant
The restaurant has a small but interesting museum which is concerned with the activities nearby, including the St Sixtus Abbey. The monks are of the Cistercian or Trappist order and are committed to a life of seclusion, prayer and manual labour.On 12 May 1915 serial deserter Private Edward Chase was shot in the Abbey and the bullet holes in the wall against which he was standing are still there. The monks respect these marks and often offer a prayer as they pass
