Terrasses des Minimes, Historic terraced gardens in Liège, Belgium
The Terrasses des Minimes spread across 1.6 hectares behind the Palace of the Prince-Bishops, featuring multiple garden levels connected by stone paths.
Religious orders, including the Teutonic Knights, shaped these terraces from the 13th century until their properties were confiscated during the French Revolution in 1796.
The terraces contain remnants of medieval viticulture traditions, with vineyards dating back to the 9th century on the surrounding Péri hill slopes.
The gardens open daily without entrance fees, with access points from rue Pierreuse and multiple pedestrian paths leading to different sections of Liège city center.
A preserved wall section contains specialized niches originally designed for beekeeping, reflecting the historical agricultural practices of religious communities.
