Abbey of Cordemois

The Notre-Dame of Clairefontaine Abbey features architectural elements that incorporate local stone materials and follows traditional Cistercian design principles for religious buildings.

The abbey was established in 1935 as part of the Cistercian religious order, contributing to the development of Belgian monasticism in the southeastern region.

The resident nuns maintain Cistercian traditions through daily practices of prayer, manual labor, and the production of handmade items for the local community.

Visitors can explore designated areas of the abbey grounds during specific hours, while certain sections remain restricted to preserve the private nature of monastic life.

The nuns engage in self-sustaining activities by creating baked goods and crafts, which are available for purchase through the monastery shop.
