Culture and History
The Site de la Reddition in Bouvron commemorates the official and final surrender of the German troops on 11 May 1945, on the Grand Clos meadow west of the town centre. The present-day monument at this site was inaugurated on 9 October 1949 and replaced a wooden Cross of Lorraine erected in 1947.
The Eglise Saint Sauveur preserves a painted wooden altar from the former St Mathurin chapel, which was destroyed, as well as baptismal fonts from the former medieval church, also destroyed. Sculptures by contemporary artist Jean Fréour adorn the interior and the porch. One of Bouvron’s former communal bread ovens was restored by the association La Fouretaisienne.
HORIZINC is a cultural venue with 245 seats arranged on ascending tiers. Since 2009, it has hosted annual performances as part of the municipal and community cultural programme, as well as artist residencies.
