Redemptoristentuin
Rakata Festival takes place in the garden of a former monastery, where redemptorists used to live. The garden carries a lot of history with it. Since 1911, it is a place which annualy welcomes a great number of high school students.
In the middle of nature is where the human species truly connects with one another. You will find yourselves dancing surrounded by meadows and trees, or you can cool down by the pond.
