Abbaye de Saint-Denis-en-Broqueroie, Benedictine abbey in Mons, Belgium.
The abbey stands along the Obrecheuil river, featuring architectural elements from different periods and incorporating both religious and residential spaces.
Countess Richilde of Hainaut and Count Baldwin II established the abbey in 1081, starting from a priory mentioned in records from 886.
The abbey maintained formal relationships with other monasteries through brotherhood agreements and served as a center for Benedictine religious practices.
The 18-hectare property now operates as a cooperative housing project, with parts of the historical buildings preserved under heritage protection.
Between 1804 and 1958, the religious complex transformed into a cotton spinning mill before the Scheut missionary fathers acquired the property.
