Monastery Cinqfontaines

Monastery of Cinqfontaines

Where? 32, Rue Massen, L-9907 Troisvierges

The small village of Cinqfontaines near Troisvierges is home to a former monastery built at the beginning of the 20th century.

The monastery of Cinqfontaines was turned into a detention centre for Jews during World War II from 1941. The occupying forces expelled the religious community and the abbey became the last stop for Jews before they were deported to the eastern concentration camps. In 1944, the American military converted the monastery into a field hospital. In 1969, a memorial monument was unveiled. In 1973, it became a place of reflection and quiet contemplation.
