Pierre Joseph Redouté was born on July 10, 1759 and died on June 19, 1840 in Paris. Famous painter, he is indeed the most glorious child of Saint-Hubert. In July 1845, the principle of erecting a fountain with the bust of the great flower painter was adopted by the municipal authorities, but it was not until around 1868 that it was completed. In the middle of a large basin, supported by scrolled consoles, rises a massive column with panels, a stepped base and carved sides, on which the statue of Pierre-Joseph Redouté stands. On each side of this column, a mask with a lion's head lets out water. On each carving, a cross is carved in relief and on a base, which divides the basin into four, sphinxes - a kind of fantastic monster with the body of a lion and a human head - seem to watch over the bust of this famous character.

At this location, the Von Rundstedt offensive was halted. This monolith marks the end of this last attempt. The rock comes from Libramont and the engraving is by Honoré Hanot. Historical interpretation of the Von Rundstedt offensive: When the Allied troops had advanced to the Belgian Ardennes, Adolf Hitler launched a final offensive. This battle lasted 6 weeks. This counteroffensive, known as the Von Rundstedt Offensive, began on 16 December 1944. The 6th SS Panzer Division, the 5th Panzer Army of Hasso von Manteuffel and the 7th Army, led by Erich Brandenberger, landed in the Ardennes on 25 December. The battle was not as successful as the offensive of May 1940. Although the German soldiers managed to surprise the enemy, they soon found themselves short of manpower and fuel. These shortages put a sudden stop to the offensive and Adolf Hitler's plans, and on January 25, 1945, the Allies succeeded in pushing the German troops back beyond their starting line. The town of Saint-Hubert was liberated on January 11, 1945 by French paratroopers of the 4th Special Air Service, followed shortly by American soldiers of the 87th Infantry Division.
