ABBEY OF THE PAIX-DIEU

The Abbey la Paix-Dieu is located in a small valley and is surrounded by forests, meadows and fields. It is a quiet architectural location in perfect harmony with nature. The abbey's history starts in 1244 with the arrival of the abbess Aelid and the nuns of the Order of Cîteaux. In 1797 it was sold as a state property and these days it is the headquarters of the improvement centre for professions related to cultural heritage and for the Tourist Office of Hesbaye and Meuse.

The "Quartier des Hôtes" (Guest quarter) is accessible to the public from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. A permanent exhibition retraces the life of the Cistercian community who lived at the monastery for over 500 years.
Other phone number: +32 (0)85/41 03 50 or fax: +32 (0)81/41 03 80.
