Menhir de Renaumont
Menhir de Renaumont submitted by Alta-Falisa : August 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A widely overlooked standing stone / menhir in the Province of Luxembourg, Belgium. As far as can be traced, this stone originally laid near a spring, on the edge of a pool, about 1000 m to the North.

At the end of the 19th century, it was in the bed of the Ourthe River, about 200 m to the South of its present location. Pronounced a menhir in 1976, it was then erected at its present location, along the road, in the village of Renaumont.
Source : Brou, W. & M., Les mégalithes de Gaule Belgique, 1988, 190-1, ill.

This standing stone is not mentioned in any other easily accessible reference.
Height : 3,30 m ; the stone is rather thin for a menhir.


While there, you might find interest in visiting nearby Bastogne, the focal point of the
Bataille des Ardennes / Battle of the Bulge / Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein,
December 1944-January 1945.
