Sainte-Adèle was the daughter of a powerful ruler of the 6th century, close to the power of the Merovingian kings. It is said that Sainte-Adèle, born blind, regained her sight on the day of her baptism. Very devoutly Adele founded the abbey of Orp the Great. This abbey became noberline at the end of the Middle Ages.

The fountain of Warnant, the sacred and healing source of eye diseases, has been the object of ardent piety ever since. During the time when the tram for the Lesve-Warnant connection and the train through Warnant connecting Dinant with Tamines existed, special convoys brought pilgrims to Warnant for religious ceremonies.
Again every year, on the first Sunday of July, Sainte-Adèle is celebrated with a procession in the village, the blessing of the water and the veneration of the relics.
The well still welcomes a number of farmers and residents who come to get supplies from the clear water.

This stone column was inaugurated in 2016 on the occasion of the opening of the place Georges Dekoninck.

Georges Dekoninck, born in 1894 and died in 1958, was a Walloon artist, sculptor of religious art. We find his sculptures of wood and stone in many religious buildings in the south of our country. These works mainly adorn the church of Warnant.

His favorite subject was the Christian religion. Bodies and faces used to literally come to life in the hands of this exceptionally gifted sculptor.

On the Warnantplein, the Dekoninck family took full responsibility for financing and erecting the monument in honor of their ancestor.

This stone column shows the bearded head of Saint Joseph with the baby Jesus.

According to Georges Dekoninck's eldest son, it is his father's masterpiece in the church of Warnant.

This work was made by Pierre Ligot d'Ermeton sur Biert. This sculptor specializing in blue stone, also from Warnant, followed from an early age in the footsteps of his master, who now bears a place in his name.
