The Provost Gate & the tombstone (Limburg, medieval town)

The high outer wall of the garden near the church is pierced by an old door. This is where the provost's house once stood. The arched lintel reads "DOMINUS - PROVIDEBIT", framing the coat of arms of the "Amezaga" family. Mathias, of Spanish descent, was born in Aachen in 1615 and died in 1666. He was Provost of Limburg in 1652.On the north gable of house no. 15, Place Saint-Georges, stands an ancient gravestone inscribed in Dutch. It is the tombstone of Anne de Hack, daughter of Antoine, Burgomaster of Limbourg. She married Willem van Gallen, commissioner of food and munitions for the States General. She died in Limbourg in 1635. Next door, an old fenced-in well.
