Villers-Sainte-Gertrude

Villers-Sainte-Gertrude (Walloon: Viyé-Sinte-Djetrou) is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Durbuy, located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

The communities of Deux Rys and Roche à Frêne (detached from Harre) were attached to it in 1826.

The village, located on a ridge at the foot of which flows the Aisne, a small tributary of the Ourthe and the stream of Vieux-Fourneau is a pleasant resort highly frequented by tourists during the summer period.

The land of Villers had been divested by the count of Hainaut to the monastery founded by Gertrude of Nivelles.

From the 16th to the 18th century, Villers-Sainte-Gertrude participated in the metallurgical activity of the Land of Durbuy which was happening at that time.
