    Hiking

    Definitely worth a visit.
    This church inherited a communion rail from the old abbey of Orval.
    Also on display are the statue of Saint Donatius in polychrome oak (18th century), two statues of Christ and a beautiful statue of the Blessed Virgin in polychrome stone from the 14th century.
    The church of Sainte Cécile - patron saint of music makers, stands harmoniously in the community.

    A visit to the small village is definitely worth it.
    The village owes its name to an old nunnery that was completely destroyed during a battle between the lords of Chassepierre and the bishop of Liège around 1380. Until 1226, the village belonged to the county of Chiny and was then taken over into the great seigniory of Florenville.

    Saint Cecile, to whom this church was dedicated, is primarily responsible for good sound—if one can put it so casually here—as she is the patron saint of church music. Many sacred choirs are named after her. The dates of her birth from the legend of the saint are not historically confirmed; she is said to have been a martyr from the early third century. The patron saint's feast day, or her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.
