On January 13, 1945, ten people who had taken refuge in a cellar in Wiltz in the midst of the atrocities of war made a promise to build a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima. The monument was inaugurated on 13 July 1952. The first official pilgrimage of Portuguese families to the monument took place in 1968. Since then, every year, thousands of fellow Portuguese citizens make their way on Ascension Day from the Church of Saints Peter and Paul (or Church of Niederwiltz) to the shrine.

Le sanctuaire, érigé en 1949 à la mémoire des victimes de la seconde guerre mondiale se trouve sur la colline " Op Bässent". Il fait l'objet d'un pèlerinage annuel le jour de l'ascension. Outre l'autel, il s'entoure d'un beau chemin de croix.
