Vimy 전체를 방문해야 합니다.

놓치지 말아야 할 기념물

훌륭한 기념물입니다. 전체적으로 경치가 좋고 꽤 관광지입니다.

Ablain-Saint-Nazaire의 옛 교회 유적은 제1차 세계 대전의 인상적이고 상징적인 유물입니다. 16세기에 Jacques Le Caron이 화려한 고딕 양식으로 지은 이 교회는 1915년 전투 중에 심하게 손상되었습니다. 이 유적은 전쟁의 참상을 기념하는 기념물로 보존되어 있습니다.

A remarkable story about the ruins concerns the decision not to rebuild the church after the war. Although the church had been classified as a historical monument in 1908, the Commission for Historical Monuments decided that the ruins should remain as a testimony to the German destruction. Ironically, it was the French guns that had destroyed the church, but the ruins became a symbol of the war and the reconstruction.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial (Vimy, Pas-de-Calais department) is a memorial dedicated to those who were missing or killed in World War I in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The monument is located on the site of a well-preserved or partially reconstructed battlefield, including trenches and tunnels. Guided tours are offered in French and English, there are several memorials, a permanent and a temporary exhibition, a museum shop and a marked hiking trail that conveys the history of the site.

You absolutely have to see it. The climb is worth it ;-)

Such places are still very important today as memorials to the countless war dead. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the military or honorary cemeteries or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind them of the need to maintain peace in the long term.
