This “cave” is in reality nothing natural since it is a reproduction of that of Massabielle, called the “Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes” cave in which Bernadette Soubirous says she saw her mother appear to her. Jesus.

It is located south of the village on the heights of the Aubetin valley. It took place on land donated by Robert Olivier, a farmer from the town.

This grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes was built in 1958, the centenary year of the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes.

Created and built by Father Jean Fabing, parish priest of Amillis, it was built by workers from Moselle with the help of the parishioners of Amillis, Chevru and Dagny and many friends and benefactors on this land in the Bois de la Croix .

Inauguration and blessing on July 13, 1958 by Monsignor Georges Romain, Vicar General.

In 1962 Pope John XXIII granted the plenary indulgence to all those who helped with the construction of the building and to all those who come to make pilgrimage there. From this day on, the cave has enjoyed real local success, demonstrated by the crowds that flocked to it during the procession on August 15.

Carefully maintained by the faithful of the village and surrounding areas, the Notre-Dame-de Lourdes cave is open daily to all those who wish to stop there. Pilgrimage on August 15.
