M. Gife, an architect, states in a work published by a literary society of Turnhout, that there was in even the seventh century a chapel on the site of the existing church, dedicated to St. Martin. He gives the date of the building of the church of St. Dymphna as the 12th century.

One of the admitted hardships connected with Gheel is that the Wallon insane sent there are amongst the Flemish instead of their own race. At Liernenx, this disadvantage does not exist (see notice of the Belgian Congress of Psychiatry in “ Notes and News.”)
