Tips

At the top of La Vaulx Street is a small late 17C wooden house. The pointed gable is reminiscent of the earlier straw roofing. At the end of the 18th century, the carpenter Jean Vinette lived in this house in poor conditions. Little did he know then that people would still remember him today. But why is so much emphasis placed on preserving and restoring this building? In fact, at the time of the French occupation, the Vinette house was considered the starting point of a popular movement on January 16, 1797. The disaffected population revolted against the occupiers, whose harassment attacked their moral and religious freedoms. For example, the clergy were forbidden to administer the last holy sacrament to the deceased. The carpenter's daughter, Marie-Thérèse Vinette, was to secretly receive her last rites on January 16, 1797. But the angry population of Malmedy resisted the French occupiers and, together with the pastor, moved to the Vinette house to administer the last holy sacrament to the sick Marie-Thérèse. Afterwards, all procession participants went about their work as usual. In 2003 the small house was completely restored and provided with protective wooden cladding. A look through the window seems to take visitors back to a long-forgotten time: the tragic scenario of the sick carpenter's daughter in her bedroom from the 18th century was realistically recreated on 16 square meters.

Dating from the beginning of the 17th century, the Vinette House is one of the smallest museums in the world. The depictions of the bedridden, seriously ill Miss Marie-Therese Venette are reminiscent of an event that happened on January 16, 1797 in Malmedy.
