Abbaye de Malmedy, Protected Benedictine abbey in Malmedy, Belgium.

The Abbaye de Malmedy stands at the heart of Malmedy, featuring an 18th-century church with architectural elements from multiple construction periods.

Saint Remaclus established the monastery in 650 with support from King Sigebert III of Austrasia, forming part of the Principality of Stavelot-Malmedy.

The abbey's church holds notable religious artworks, including a Virgin and Child statue and an altar from 1773 in the Saints Peter, Paul, and Quirin Cathedral.

The former abbey buildings now house educational facilities and a justice court, while the church continues to function as the main religious center.

From 1920 to 1925, the abbey church temporarily served as the cathedral of the short-lived Diocese of Eupen-Malmedy during the post-World War I period.
