The Collegiate Church of Sainte-Begge, in the heart of the city of Andenne, was built in the neoclassical style (18th century) and dedicated to Saint Begga, the founder of the monastery, which included the seven churches that were destroyed to enable the abbey to be built .
At the advice of Pope Serge I, Begga 692 built a monastery with seven churches in one place, which God had given her thanks to signs. The number of churches followed the sign God directed to Begga, namely a hen and seven chicks and a sow and seven piglets.

Unfortunately closed at the moment, but: The collegiate church of St. Begga was built from 1764 to 1778 to plans by the architect Laurent-Benoît Dewez. The building material came from the demolition of seven churches that were demolished because of dilapidation in the course of the 18th century.
