In 1912, Bishop François-Xavier Schoepfer of Tarbes and Lourdes had a full-scale replica of the Lourdes grotto built on the site of his birthplace, which had been destroyed by fire. Alsace has no fewer than 130 replicas of the Lourdes grotto, built between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
Very pretty replica of the original cave, located in a very beautiful village that is Wettolsheim. To discover!, just like this typical Alsatian village.
