This grotto was built by the inhabitants in recognition of the protection of the Holy Virgin during the last war, even though two children from the parish died in German captivity. A marble tree (in the vestibule of the church) commemorates their names: Paul Fransolet and Marcel Boudron.

The Mother of God depicted and venerated here is the one from Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people who hope for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and believers have built Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere.

The church's memorial day for "Our Lady of Lourdes" is February 11th, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Mother of God appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8th (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI.

The commemoration of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.

The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Solwaster is a spiritual place dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is located in the Wallonia region of Belgium.

The grotto was built in 1903 and is a replica of the famous Lourdes Grotto in France. It was built by believers to honor the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes.

The grotto attracts numerous pilgrims every year who come here to pray, light candles and have spiritual experiences.

The grotto is embedded in the rock and features a statue of the Virgin Mary. The area is surrounded by trees and nature, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

There is a spring near the grotto that is considered to have medicinal properties. Many people believe that the water has healing properties.
