La Bataille de Collarmont

Feast your eyes on the emblem of Anderlues, the last remnant of the 12th century romanesque St. Medardus Church, which used to serve as a bell tower, belfry and a fortified tower.

Take a walk along this building, which used to belong to the Order of the Knights Templar in Piéton. Viernois is said to be derived from the Gallic "Verno", meaning "alder" (aulne in French).

Visit the Collarmont Cemetery, to experience the thought-provoking historical past at this site, the final resting place of 248 soldiers who fell in battle when the Sordet cavalry made its retreat.

See in the distance our headframe, a typical symbol of the coal-mining company, whose slag heaps adjoining the site now abound with plant life.
