A Cathedral never stands alone. Through secularisation and modern urbanization we forget that only the church controlled and carried out many social functions in the past. There was the care for education in the so-called Papenschool, for singing in the Choraelhuys (Choral house), for the poor at the Table of the Holy Ghost, for the sick in the Our Lady's Guest house, and for the dead in the church graveyard, nowadays the Groenplaats. Later the Bishop's Palace, a public library and the diocesan seminary followed. When the carillon plays on Monday during a summer evening you realise how much the church forms part of the local scene and in the real town atmosphere.
