The Tower of Eben-Ezer: the Tower of Babel of flint
Erected in the aftermath of World War II, the Tower of Eben-Ezer is a prophetic monument dedicated to universal peace. It was in 1948 that stonemason Robert Garcet set out to build this fantastic fortress with his own hands. It took him fifteen years of labor to complete this monumental 33-meter-high structure, built entirely of flint stones from the quarries of the Geer Valley. The building rises toward the celestial realm, creating a symbolic link between earth and sky.
The site’s mysticism permeates its very name, chosen to echo the stone erected by the prophet Samuel to celebrate the peace restored in 1038 B.C. The tower’s seven levels rise like a spiritual initiation, housing a true esoteric sanctuary inspired bythe Book of Revelation and the prophet Ezekiel. At the summit, the platform opens to the sky, guarded by four turrets topped with spectacular cherubs. These monumental winged creatures send their symbolic message to the four corners of the world.
The Secrets of Flint: a unique geological journey!
The adventure continues deep within the stone with the discovery of the Geospadium. This fascinating space offers an immersion into the Cretaceous geological period, an era dating back 100 million years. Through a rich collection of fossils, visitors uncover the secret of flint formation and discover howhumans learned to master this magical rock over the millennia. The tower’s gardens unfold like an invitation to daydream, hosting numerous art exhibitions that explore the themes of peace, dreams, and mythology.
This unique getaway also offers a breath of fresh air in the heart of unspoiled nature. From the top of the 33-meter-high terrace, visitors enjoy an exceptional panorama of the rolling landscapes of the Lower Meuse and the surrounding villages. A former flint quarry now reclaimed by biodiversity, the site invites you to take a stroll—an ideal opportunity to recharge your spirit. Eben-Ezer harmoniously combines physical relaxation andspiritual awakening, just 1.5 hours from the capital.
