The Children of Rustoord

Heusdensebaan in Oisterwijk is now home to Hotel De Leyhof, but the site was once occupied by Rustoord Children’s Home. From 1927 onwards, the home provided shelter for children from families facing difficulties, for example when a parent had died or a mother was unable to care for all her children. The home was run by the Sisters of Charity. In 1975, Rustoord closed its doors.
