Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Banneux, Marian shrine in Banneux, Belgium

The sanctuary extends across open grounds with the Chapel of Apparitions, multiple prayer spaces, and a spring considered to hold healing properties.

In 1933, Mariette Beco, a local girl, reported eight apparitions of the Virgin Mary, leading to the construction of the first chapel in August 1933.

The sanctuary receives 500,000 visitors annually, including religious groups from various Christian denominations and a Muslim community that visits each year.

The site provides accommodation at L'Hospitalite facility, while the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul assist sick pilgrims since 1934.

The Chapel of Saint Michael, built in 1960, stands as a symbol of reconciliation between German and French communities after World War II.
