The Abbey of La Ramée was founded around 1215 by Héluide, Abbess of Nivelles. The convent was initially under the religious authority of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville. Founded at the beginning of the 13th century, this former Cistercian abbey has seen its buildings evolve over the centuries through renovations and destructions. Today, the remains of the abbey bear witness to its monastic past, with stones steeped in history and green spaces that invite contemplation. The cloister, still in good condition, is a place conducive to meditation, while the surrounding gardens offer a peaceful view over the Walloon countryside. The abbey, once a religious and economic center, is now a place of remembrance where visitors can discover the heritage of the monks and appreciate the tranquility that reigns there. Exhibitions and cultural events are regularly organized, allowing visitors to discover the richness of this heritage.
