The monument commemorates Lucien Vandenbroeck, a young Belgian soldier from Sint-Gillis (Brussels) who was killed on May 10, 1940, during the early days of World War II. He belonged to the First Horse Hunters Regiment and, along with other troops, was stationed in the region to support the bunker defenses along the Meuse River and slow the German advance. During an attack, he was fatally wounded by a machine-gun fire, at the age of only 20. The monument itself was erected at the request of a local family at the site of the event as a tribute to Lucien Vandenbroeck and as a lasting reminder of the struggle and sacrifices of Belgian soldiers during those first months of the war.

St. Barbara's Church is the parish church of Eisden-Tuinwijk in Eisden and a so-called mining cathedral. The church was built after the Eisden coal mine was constructed and put into production in 1923, leading to the construction of several towns under the name Eisden-Tuinwijk. These were located west of the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal. This led to a sharp population increase, creating the need for a new church. Brussels architect Auguste Vanden Nieuwenborg designed a monumental church in the Brick Expressionist style, incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arch windows. The stained-glass windows in the choir are inspired by those of Chartres Cathedral. The church, with its plump 53-meter-high tower, was built from 1934 to 1936. It is a three-aisled cruciform church. The church furnishings are almost entirely post-1945, but the organ dates from 1939 and was built by the Delmotte studio in Tournai. The Stations of the Cross are made of black marble in bas-relief, and in 1960, sculptor Mailleux created several statues. The Saint Barbara statue on the facade dates from 1982. The church is surrounded by various related buildings, such as schools, a monastery, and a parish center. Source: Wikipedia
