Pelgrimsherberg Kafarnaüm
Looking for a place of rest, reflection and connection? Then the Pilgrims Inn in Vessem is just what you are looking for. This historic farmhouse, diagonally behind the church, is the perfect place to escape from the daily hustle and bustle and be inspired by the stories of pilgrims.
The history of this inn is as special as the place itself. It was once a friars' house, called 'Karfarnaüm', where friars from the Congregation of Our Lady of Lourdes found a unique way of life. They chose not to live behind convent walls, but in the middle of the bustling village life of Vessem. Their dream of an open and welcoming place lives on today.
An oasis of peace for every pilgrim
