    The Rocher de la Vierge is located in Comblain-la-Tour, Belgium, on the right bank of the Ourthe, a tributary of the Meuse. It has been included on the Hamoir list of listed real estate heritage since November 9, 1949. It is also listed as a site of great biological interest and a Natura 2000 site.

      The rock owes its name to the statue of the Virgin that the boatmen had erected there and that they implored because navigation by means of bètchètes (flat-bottomed boats) at the foot of this rock was perilous. The statue disappeared in 1866 during the construction of the railway line at the foot of the rock. Father Gielen had a new statue placed in 1949. In the evening, the statue is lit.
