Abbaye d'Andenne, Religious abbey in Andenne, Belgium
The Andenne Abbey complex includes multiple religious buildings constructed with local limestone, following classical architectural principles of the Meuse Valley region.
Saint Begga, daughter of Pepin of Landen and mother of Pepin of Herstal, established the monastery in 692 following guidance from Pope Sergius I.
The monastery transformed from a mixed-gender Benedictine institution into an exclusive noble congregation for canonesses during the medieval period.
The original abbey buildings were demolished in the 18th century, with their stones repurposed for the construction of the current neoclassical collegiate church.
The abbey grounds contained seven separate chapels, inspired by Saint Begga's pilgrimage to the seven basilicas of Rome.
