The Menhir of Morville stands amidst the picturesque landscape of Morville, nestled within the municipality of Durbuy in the Belgian province of Luxembourg.

Scattered across the encompassing valley where Wéris resides, one can find not only this solitary menhir but also two dolmens and a collection of other imposing standing stones.
