December 44 Historical Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

A German tank stands in front of the museum.

In 1944, this Tiger 213 tank was used by the 1st SS Panzer Regiment Peipers for defense during the Battle of the Bulge. When the troops withdrew, it was left behind along with five other tanks.

In 1945, all the wreckage was cleared by the Americans. This tank, however, was spared, as it was exchanged for a bottle of cognac. The tank was placed as a memorial in the square in La Gleize.

Roanne-Coo Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The Roanne-Coo viaduct is a railway viaduct in La Gleize, part of Stoumont. The viaduct is part of railway line 42 and spans the Amblève and the N633. The viaduct is named after the nearby villages of Roanne (municipality of Stoumont) and Coo (municipality of Stavelot).

The viaduct is an arch bridge made of natural stone. The original viaduct had 8 arches of 12.5 meters each over the valley and a steel truss construction as the central span across the Amblève. Later, the central span was replaced by 2 natural stone arches of 25 meters each. The entire viaduct is 186 meters long and has a height of 23 meters.
The Roanne-Coo tunnel is connected directly to the viaduct.

Saint-André Church, Coo

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel, built by the residents themselves, was inaugurated in July 1728. It was dedicated to Saint Andrew. But over the years the chapel had become outdated. It was in need of renovation and was also too small.
Therefore, today's new church was built in 1874.
In 2001, the church factory carried out a complete renovation of the building on its own: lighting, murals, painting the ceilings and all woodwork.
On July 15, 2008, the catastrophe occurred - the church was on fire.
Today the church has been restored again. A church service takes place every Sunday.

Trois-Ponts Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bicycle/pedestrian bridge made it possible to extend the Ravel45, so it is no longer necessary to go through two tunnels to reach the village center of Trois-pont.
