    Hiking

    Wixhou is located at the top of the northeastern slope of the Julienne valley at an altitude of around 130 m. Located on the edge of the woods of the Domaine de la Julienne, the hermitage and chapel of Notre-Dame au Bois d'Argenteau were originally a modest oratory built in 1683 at the request of Count Louis-Antoine de Claris, Count of Clairmont and Argenteau. The transformations leading to the current construction began in 1849 at the initiative of Count François de Mercy-Argenteau. A pilgrimage takes place every September 8 for the feast of Our Lady of Wixhou.
