Pont/Bridge – Lourdes Cave

Near Malmédy is the hamlet of Pont/Brücken, which is a part of Malmédy and belongs to the province of Liège.

The Lourdes Grotto was built in 1903 from large rock blocks and is located in the park of a former noblewoman. The large Mariabeeld stands in the upper part of the grotto at a few meters height. To the left of the grotto are a statue of visionary Bernadette Soubirous and several smaller copies. The Lourdes Grotto is richly decorated with flowers and plants. Benches have been placed in front of the grotto for the visitors. The grotto makes a very well-maintained impression.
