Everberg is a town in the Belgian province Flemish-Brabant and is part of the municipality of Kortenberg. The territory covers an area of 925 ha. The neighbouring towns or municipalities are Leefdaal, Kortenberg, Erps-Kwerps, Meerbeek, Sterrebeek, Moorsel and Tervuren. A small hamlet, called Vrebos, can also be found in Everberg. ==History== During the Roman era an important Roman road Bruges-Cologne ran through Everberg. Countless implements have been found on this Roman road. The earliest records on Everberg are dated from a charter from the year 1112. Everberg was spelled as Eversberg. In this document from 1112 it is mentioned that Bishop Odo of Cambrai donated the altar (''altare'') of Everberg to the Xenodochium or the Guesthouse (''Gasthuis'') of Leuven. The patron of the church, Saint Martin, is a reference to the old age of the church of Everberg, which certainly goes back to the 8th century. According to some, Everberg would have been the main parish of the area, from which other parishes have been founded. The Guesthouse of Leuven was established by Henry III, Count of Louvain (1079-1095). This Guesthouse received the tithes of Everberg. In the following centuries, Everberg was described "as the pantry of the Guesthouse of Leuven". The act of 1112 is the oldest act of the Guesthouse. The Mistress of the Guesthouse had the right to propose the priest of Everberg. Initially, the priests were appointed by the Bishop of Cambrai, later on by the Bishop of Mechelen. The Guesthouse gained its income from the church and from the tithes in Everberg. They were also responsible for the repairs of the church and the presbytery. The tithes were collected in a tithe barn, which was the large barn of the Guesthouse's courtyard. The priest of Everberg received some compensation or an annual salary. At the church itself two chapels (or altars) were connected, the Chapel of Souls (''Zielenkapelanij'') and the Chapel of Saint John and Our Lady. At the end of the 19th century, the church dedication was expanded to Saint Martin and Saint Ludovicus. The latter was the patron saint of count Louis de Mérode, who donated significant sums for restoration of the church by H. Beyaert and Hankas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
