Crupet

Crupet is a small village in Wallonia, Belgium, within the municipality of Assesse in Namur province. It features old stone houses with whitewashed walls from the 17th to 19th centuries, including farmhouses and former mills.

The village was founded in the 13th century and remained an independent municipality until merging with Assesse in 1977. Saint Martin Church is an ancient building that has served as a spiritual center for the community for many centuries.

The village takes its name from the river that flows through it, giving the place a sense of connection to water and nature. Local residents actively maintain traditional architecture and customs to preserve the village's historical character.

The village is easily accessible by car or public bus, with information available at Rue Haute 7. Guides are available in several languages including German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, and Spanish.

In the village center stands a man-made grotto dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, opened in 1903 by local priest Gerard. The grotto is decorated with twenty-two statues depicting scenes from the saint's life.
