As witnesses to the violence of the conflict, nine memorial chapels were built between 1930 and 1934 to keep alive, in addition to the victims of the war, the memory of each of these lost villages. The Chapel of Our Lady of Europe is one of those nine chapels.

Note on the left, it says 'Our Lady of Europe'

Built in the 1930s on the site of the former village church of Fleury, this chapel commemorates the devastated village and its inhabitants. In 1979, it was named Notre-Dame-de-l’Europe, as a symbol of peace and European reconciliation. Inside, a Pièta fresco and a stained glass window by Grüber depicting a French infantryman are silent witnesses to the suffering and hope that this place embodies.

The sad beauty of this place captivates you. As much as you want to stay, you are nevertheless glad to be able to escape this place again. Easily accessible on foot from the road, also for people with walking difficulties via a paved path.
