SAINT-ANDRÉ CHURCH
In 1630, Godefroy d'Eltz et de Clervaux and his wife Dorothée de Raville donated the Chapel of the Three Virgins to the Franciscans so that they could welcome the numerous pilgrims. The religious set about building a convent. Ten years later, they began to build the church which was completed in 1658. The bell tower dates from 1924. The interior impresses by the richness of its baroque decoration. The cult of the Three Virgins, daughters of St. Sophie who died for their faith around 130, certainly replaced the veneration of three pagan deities.
