Croix du Curé
Highlight • Monument
The Croix du Curé was founded after the death of Everard Deleau, parish priest of Xhignesse, who was received and murdered here on October 16, 1778 by the Renard brothers. A few days earlier a theft had been discovered in the church at Xhignesse and the priest had used the word "renard" during his sermon on the subject, which was enough for the Renard brothers - who regularly engaged in shady dealings - to think he would accuse them of this theft. The Renard brothers got an alibi by allegedly sleeping in the Filot brewery and they waited for the priest at the spot where the cross now stands and killed him. They hid the body in a quarry. Since searches were then organized in the neighborhood because it was thought that the pastor had had an accident, they went the next night to collect the body to dispose of in the Ourthe. A farmer who happened to see them didn't dare say it for fear of the Renards and for fear of being accused of murder himself, but it nagged at him so much that he fell ill. A while later, a farm servant came to his house because one of his cows had been grazing on someone else's land, but the farmer thought it was about the murder and told the story. The Renards - who, by the way, had nothing to do with the theft - were arrested and convicted: they were raped and then hanged.
