La Ramée Abbey, Former Cistercian abbey in Jauchelette, Jodoigne, Belgium

La Ramée Abbey is a former Cistercian nunnery in Jauchelette, near Jodoigne. Its surviving 18th-century buildings form two groups: the abbess's quarters, built in stone by Dame Séraphine Wouters in 1775, and a brick farm complex around a courtyard, with a monumental entrance gate dated 1716, a dovecote, the great tithe barn of 1722 and stables. The farm buildings have Gobertange stone quoins and window surrounds.

A Cistercian nuns' community settled at Jauchelette around 1213–1215, on land given by Gerard, lord of Jauche; his daughter Heluide, abbess of Nivelles, drove the foundation, and the convent first answered to Villers-la-Ville Abbey. Around 1500 reform from Marche-les-Dames imposed stricter Benedictine observance. The nuns were driven out twice between 1577 and 1676, and in 1705 Louis XIV's troops destroyed the abbey; in 1706 it served as Marlborough's headquarters and military hospital during the Battle of Ramillies. Sold as national property in 1799, it was bought in 1903 by the Dames du Sacré-Cœur.

The abbey's name survives in the Walloon phrase cinse de l'Abîye, still used for the farm and its barn. The abbesses ran a school for children from the surrounding area, and a girls' school existed inside the abbey from around 1500. The community never counted more than about twenty choir nuns and as many lay sisters.

The former abbey stands in Jauchelette, part of Jodoigne in Walloon Brabant, on a bend of the Grande Gette. The surviving 18th-century buildings form two groups: the abbess's quarter and the farm complex around a courtyard, entered by a monumental gate dated 1716. Since 2008 the site has been used for company seminars, so visits depend on bookings.

The monumental entrance gate in the farm courtyard is dated 1716, and the great tithe barn bears the year 1722. The abbess's quarters were built in 1775 under Dame Séraphine Wouters. Many year stones and wall anchors from the 18th-century rebuilding remain visible in the brickwork.
