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 on February 11th, the anniversary of the apparition of the Virgin Mary (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.

It's nice that there is still a village shop here, it's a rarity in rural areas!

Inconspicuous little chapel nestled between three large trees. A look inside the chapel is definitely worth it, a beautiful, large statue of the Virgin Mary framed by a rock can be seen here. Here you can pause and sit outside on the bench and enjoy the surrounding area

When the weather is clear you'll definitely have a nice view, but unfortunately we weren't lucky even though the sun was shining.
