Stavelot Abbey, Benedictine abbey and museum complex in Stavelot, Belgium.

The stone walls and towers of Stavelot Abbey rise above the Amblève River, featuring a combination of medieval and 18th-century architectural elements.

Saint Remacle established this religious center in the 7th century, which developed into a powerful double monastery controlling territories between Stavelot and Malmedy.

The abbey houses three museums focusing on the history of the Principality, medieval religious artifacts, and the Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit.

The museum complex opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours in multiple languages and special rates for groups of more than 20 people.

The abbey's vaulted cellars contain racing cars and multimedia exhibits connecting the religious history with modern motorsport heritage.
