Priory of Beaufays, Former monastery in Chaudfontaine, Belgium
The Prieuré de Beaufays stands on a plateau south of Liège, featuring religious buildings, a tower, and a farm complex arranged around central courtyards.
Founded in 1123 at Belle-Fontaine by monk Robert, the priory operated continuously until 1798 when the French Revolution led to its transformation into private property.
The monastery spring, known as Belle-Fontaine, supplied water for brewing activities carried out by the Augustinian canons following their traditional recipes.
The Saint-Jean-l'Evangeliste church, integrated into the priory complex, contains an 18th-century organ and hosts regular concerts throughout the year.
The site underwent multiple transformations, including serving as a girls' boarding school in 1875 when German Ursuline nuns added a north wing.
