Abbaye de Saint-Laurent de Liège, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Laurent district, Liège, Belgium.
The monastery complex includes a 15th-century portal, residential quarters, and various buildings arranged around former courtyards and religious structures.
Founded in 1026 by Bishop Réginard, thirty Benedictine monks from Saint-Vanne de Verdun established the monastery, which received official consecration in 1034.
During the 17th century, the monastery functioned as an intellectual center where mathematicians, poets, composers, and theologians lived and worked.
The site now serves as a military facility, with the former monastic buildings housing the 3rd Regional Infrastructure Center of Belgium.
The Vivier building, completed in 1618, contained a fish pond that supplied food for the monks throughout different seasons.
