Abbaye de Cambron

Located on the banks of the Blanche River, the abbey complex spans across 52 hectares with preserved historical structures including an entrance pavilion and mill.

Founded in 1148 by twelve monks from Clairvaux under Saint Bernard's direction, following an invitation from Anselm of Trazegnies who provided the initial land.

The abbey monks taught agricultural techniques to local peasants, contributing to the development of farming practices throughout the Hainaut region.

The Cambron brewery produces four types of abbey beer through a partnership with Dubuisson brewery, using local water resources for production.

After the monks' expulsion in 1789, the site transformed into a castle owned by the Counts of Val de Beaulieu between 1852 and 1854.
