Description

Twee ruwe stenen standbeelden van de beide heiligen Harlindis en Relindis, die volgens de overlevering rond 730 het benedictinessenklooster Eike (ofwel klooster van Aldeneik) stichtten op het domein van hun vader Adelard, vlak bij de Maas en niet ver van de enkele jaren eerder gestichte abdij van Susteren.
