Blommerschot
The hamlet of Blommerschot is located in the southeast of Oostmalle in the Campine region of Flanders, Belgium. Blommerschot was already mentioned in 1300 as Eene oude Ridderlyck hof, and possibly dates back from a Frankish settlement. In the 17th century it was owned by Johan de Proost, Lord of Wechel, who obtained the feudal rights of the Land of Turnhout from Philip IV Duke of Brabant in 1626.
In the forests of Blommerschot stands a former hunting pavilion, and a Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Cross of Blommerschot, located at Pulderbos, commemorates Léon Nève de Mévergnies.
