Saint Anne

Statue of Saint Anne

Justice Stone

In a corner of the baptistery stands a mysterious stone monument, sometimes called the ancient justice stone of Anseremme. It consists of an architectural element set atop a column shaped like an elongated vase with a central swelling. Above it rises a small blue stone hexagonal lantern, decorated on three sides with bas relief figures forming a Way of the Cross. Its value lies above all in its striking originality.
