Monastère Notre-Dame d'Hurtebise, Benedictine monastery in Saint-Hubert, Belgium.
Monastère Notre-Dame d'Hurtebise is a Benedictine monastery in Saint-Hubert comprising a church and multiple residential structures built on a highland plateau. The complex forms a self-contained community where nuns follow monastic traditions and maintain their daily routines.
The monastery originated in 1935 when Benedictine nuns acquired a farm property and began constructing new buildings in 1938. This foundation transformed the rural land into an active spiritual community.
The monastery maintains regular prayer schedules, including Sunday Mass at 10:30 and special European Vespers every third Friday of the month.
Visitors interested in spiritual activities or retreats should contact the community in advance to learn about current offerings and access. The monastery operates according to its religious schedule and welcomes those seeking contemplative experiences.
In 2017, the community received a special designation from the Bishop of Metz to direct their prayers specifically for Europe. This spiritual focus gives the monastery a broader purpose beyond its immediate location.
