    In Borgentreich in the district of Höxter there is a Lourdes grotto that is considered the largest of its kind in Westphalia. In 1900, Maria Fiorentini, sister of the school director Heinrich Fiorentini from Borgentreich, undertook a pilgrimage to France. She deeply impressed the locals for a replica of the Grotto of the Apparitions. Together with the sculptor Clemens Brilon and active help from the citizens, it was inaugurated in May 1902 in the former municipal quarry.

In 1978 the “devotees of Our Lady of Lourdes” received the special blessing of the Pope.
