## Who is she?

Fanny Leclerc was born on 23 June 1820 in Luxembourg City. She created several foundations and scholarships, such as the scholarship for artistic ironwork and woodcarving. Fanny Leclerc comes from a very old Luxembourg family, most of whose members were members of the judiciary and the bar. She lives part of her life in Arlon. A generous benefactress, she donated the proceeds from the sale of her Finsterthal estate to the Hospices d'Arlon, a substantial sum of approximately 80,000 francs.

Fanny Leclerc died on 12 November 1904 at the Pescatore Foundation. She is buried in Boevange-sur-Attert.
