To relax and forget the hard life for a while, the ladies told the latest gossip. The stories became more elaborate, time after time, and the gossip was very successful. But the witch stories probably also emerged here. Martine Lagalli, Jeanne Nayven and many others were victims of this slander. About 15 residents of Matage-la-Petite were convicted of witchcraft between 1624 and 1628. Several of them were burned on the village square of Vierves. The others were chased away from the village.

Small rectangular building made of limestone rubble with a single-bay roof. this construction covers a stone sink with a pump. Access to the sink is via a few stairs. The original roof, which rested on two beams, was replaced.
