Haychboun Cross

The Hashboun Cross is a religious center belonging to the Waqf al-Fatahat (Endowment of the Openings) and is located on a property in Assia village. The site is distinguished by its breathtaking natural beauty, situated on the last hill and mountaintop, offering a stunning view of central Batroun and the coast. The entire region can be observed from this strategic vantage point.

The structure was originally built by Father Boutros Lahkaziya, who lived there and considered it a spiritual and geographical observation point. He passed away recently. Upon his death, the property remained under the ownership of the Waqf al-Fatahat, and the cross became officially associated with this endowment.

The cross can be reached by car via a paved road or on foot via a hiking trail that passes through picturesque landscapes, making the journey a delightful experience combining spirituality and nature.

The cross is not merely a religious landmark, but also a cultural and geographical symbol that connects nature and spirituality. Its strategic location and breathtaking views of the surrounding area make it a popular destination for visitors and worshippers alike.
