VAL-DIEU (ABBEY OF)
Abbey founded by a group of Cistercian monks, the church with Renaissance stalls of the Cistercian abbey of Liège
The abbey was founded in 1216 by a group of Cistercian monks from Hocht, near Maastricht. While most of the buildings have survived to the present day, the abbey church, which partially collapsed in 1839, was rebuilt after the French Revolution. The church contains magnificent Renaissance stalls from the Liège Cistercian abbey of La Paix-Dieu. Classical concerts are organized in season. Next door to the abbey: a religious art store and an award-winning craft brewery that follows the recipes of the Val-Dieu brewery-monks!

Et puis, quel plaisir de déguster une bière d'abbaye.
Nous avions choisi l'option avec une guide, fort sympathique, qui nous fit découvrir l'histoire de cette abbaye en parcourant ses nombreuses salles et galeries et patio intérieur.
La visite s'est évidemment prolongée par la visite avec dégustation de la brasserie du Val Dieu.
Une visite qui au total aura duré trois heures avec passage en boutique pour achat de quelques bouteilles.
A conseiller ainsi que la région (voir autres avis)
