The Lembrecht Fountain is a domed pavilion surrounded by four semicircular basins. The dome is crowned by a pine cone, a symbol of the unity of the Principality of Liège. The fountain is a tribute to the local gunsmith Dieudonn Lambrecht (1882 - 1916), who was executed by the Germans in the fortress of La Chartreuse in April 1916 for setting up an intelligence network in the Ardennes. The existing bronze plaques honor Dieudonn Lambrecht and others for his actions. A commemorative plaque bears the names of fifty-six other people who were "shot for the fatherland."

Historical
This monument, in pure Mosan style, whose stones come from the foundations of the old Saint-Lambert cathedral, was erected thanks to a public donation and inaugurated on July 14, 1930 to perpetuate the memory of Dieudonné LAMBRECHT, shot by the Germans in 1916 at the age of 34. Nicknamed “Brave among the brave”, Dieudonné LAMBRECHT decided in 1914 to serve the Fatherland by organizing a spy network on railway traffic in the Ardennes.
