Vinette House

At the top of Rue Haute Vaulx stands a very small house. It is one of the oldest houses in Malmedy, probably built after the general fire of 1689. It was bought in 1781 by Jean Vinette, a poor carpenter.
The Vinette House is now the smallest museum in the world. According to a local anecdote, it can only be visited from the outside.
Through the window, you can see a bedroom from the old days, with Miss Marie-Thérèse Vinette bedridden and seriously ill.
This scene is reminiscent of an event that occurred in Malmedy on January 16, 1797. Following the refusal of the French revolutionary occupiers to allow the Holy Viaticum to be carried by the sick, a spontaneous movement of the population, defying gendarmes and soldiers, organized a procession flanking the vicar. The crowd reached the Maison Vinette and the young girl was able to receive the last help of religion, before dying on the following April 15.
