Abbaye de Malonne

Abbaye de Malonne is a monastery complex in Namur featuring stone structures arranged around a central courtyard with architectural details spanning several periods. The facility contains flexible rooms that can accommodate from 50 to 400 people for various purposes.

The abbey was founded in 685 by Saint Berthuin and transformed into an Augustinian community in 1151, giving it a new monastic structure. It remained a working religious institution until it was secularized and sold in 1797.

The abbey now welcomes artists and community groups who gather regularly for performances, exhibitions, and meetings within its spaces. The historic walls serve as a backdrop for contemporary creative work and social connection.

The spaces can be heated or cooled to suit different activities, from conferences to exhibitions, making it adaptable to many uses. The location provides easy access to local services and transport connections throughout the area.

The 17th-century pulpit inside displays a former abbot's coat of arms and reveals fine craftsmanship from that era. The ceiling beneath the rood screen shows Renaissance styling with delicate decorative details.
