Just behind the church is a recreation of the grotto in Lourdes built in local drystone, but scaled down to one third. From the mid 19th century onwards Lourdes became one of the most important catholic sites of pilgrimage following the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes. There is a similar recreation of the Lourdes grotto in Alta in Finnmark, see "Altagård with Catholic Cemetery" elsewhere in this guide.
