Overlooking the charming village of Altrippe, the Church of Saint-Pierre makes no secret of its uniqueness: a round tower. The Romanesque-style building was constructed in 1450 and enlarged in the 19th century. Taking the path south, you'll find the Calvary at the highest point in the village. It was erected in 1898 by Abbot Colbus and his parishioners following a mystical vision.
