Waulsort Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Waulsort, Belgium.
The monastery stands along the Meuse River, featuring architectural elements from different periods within its transformed private residence structure.
Irish monks established the abbey in 946 at the request of Eilbert de Florennes, making it a center of religious activity for centuries.
The abbey maintained the Lothair Crystal, a significant religious artifact, from the 10th century until its dissolution in 1793.
The former abbey grounds, now a private property, can be viewed from the riverside path that runs along the Meuse River.
The geological formation known as the Waulsortian mudmound takes its name from this location where the abbey once stood.
