Jacobushoeve

The Jacobushoeve opened its doors in 1991 as a thrift store and community center, and was founded by the brothers. Brother Fons walked to Santiago de Compostela. During that trip, he and his running partner came across broken items along the side of the road. His companion had the idea to fix them up and sell them. They donated the proceeds to the poorest of the poor. That touched Brother Fons. Upon his return to Vessem, he decided to do something with this idea. A fellow brother with a creative and playful spirit helped him find a suitable location. It is a community center, located in a historic farmhouse. Behind the house is a beautiful garden shaped like a mandala, designed to promote relaxation and reflection. You’re always welcome to stop by for a cup of coffee and/or a good chat.
