Statue of Pedro Coloma – Lord of Bornem

Highlight • Monument

Pedro Coloma ended up in the Habsburg Netherlands in 1577 to fight in the Eighty Years' War. In 1580, he was appointed contador mayor (supreme treasurer) of the Army of Flanders by Alexander Farnese. His appointment was confirmed by letters of patent from Madrid in 1584.
He bought the lordship of Bornem in 1586, which became a barony in 1592. Jean-François Coloma, his grandson and fourth baron of Bornem, became its first count in 1658.
Pedro Coloma had an estate built on the site of the later castle of Bornem. He is also the builder of the Sas van Bornem (1589-1592) that made shipping possible between the Scheldt and the Oude Scheldt and thus contributed to the economic development of Bornem. This sas is the oldest preserved mechanical lock in Belgium. In 1603 Pedro Coloma founded the Monastery of the Holy Cross there to preserve the relics of the Holy Cross that he possessed. From 1658 onwards the monastery would accommodate English Dominicans fleeing religious persecution and in 1836 it became the Saint Bernard Abbey of Bornem.
