| Saint Ludwig lived from 1214 to 1270. From the age of twelve he undertook two crusades. He did not survive the last crusade. King Ludwig the ninth probably died of the plague in Tunis. The king is canonized in 1297 for his struggle against Islam and other merits for the Catholic Church.
The statue of St. Ludwig stood for years in a niche of the Franciscan monastery near Vlodrop Station. After the departure of the Franciscan fathers, the statue has been on this spot since 1987. |
