Stations of the Cross Malmedy

Steep climb with old wayside cross and chapel.

The Stations of the Cross on the Livremont hill can easily be described as one of the most beautiful sights in the city. In the 17th century, the wooden crosses were placed on one of the steepest sections of the path to Chôdes. But over the years, the original wooden Stations of the Cross have been adapted, renovated and changed several times.

In 1728, Capuchin Father Albert de Dinant had the old, heavily weathered wooden crosses replaced with a large cross and a chapel. In 1873, the old stations were also replaced with the 14 stations that still form the Way of the Cross today.
