Vierge de Vuillecin

A brief description of the Virgin of Vuillecin

During the Second World War, Vuillecin was spared by the enemy: it was therefore as a sign of thanks that, around 1946, a monument in honour of the Virgin was built by Mr Guillin Léon de Mouthier.

There are very few archives on the Virgin of Vuillecin. Mr Michel Henri had the honour of fetching the statue from Mouthier and bringing it back to Vuillecin.

In June, the AVPEC 2018 renovated the virgin by painting it. Under a great sun, our virgin was given a new look! And in spring 2019, a ceremony followed by a pot de l'amitié and a small exhibition took place.
