The establishment of the monks of the Abbey
Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil in Baronville,
not far from Beauraing, in a house made available to them by Count van Liedekerke de Pailhe in 1901,
could only be temporary. Before
the slow but steady increase in
community the house soon turned out to be too small and, above all, there was no
the possibility of fitting out a chapel suitable for his monastic life.
From 1904, Dom Edouard du Coëtlosquet, Abbot of Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil,
was therefore looking for another place, if possible
outside of Belgium already saturated with exiled communities. On the advice of P.
Louis Poisat S.J., a childhood friend,
he went to Clervaux in September
of this year for an interview about his research with the mayor
of this locality, Mr. Emile Prüm, then
Leader of the Catholic Party in the Chamber
of the Deputies of the Grand Duchy. This one
led him to the height which dominates
Clervaux, near the place where he had inaugurated, in 1899, the Monument to the Peasants' War. But on this height he
there was no house and the monks
didn't have the money to build
the dwelling that suited them. In addition,
since 1904 the community of Baronville
had established a small juniorate for the
future candidates; and Mr. Prüm thought
- where he was wrong - that the laws
Luxembourg would not allow
to have a secondary school. He drove
therefore his host in Bas-Bellain where he had
a property straddling the border
Belgian; the monks could live
in Luxembourg and place their
school in Belgium. Dom du Coetlosquet
did not want this circumvention of
laws, and things left it at that.

High above the city rises the majestic, impressive and Romanesque Benedictine abbey of Sankt Mauritius. The abbey was built in 1909-1910 and occupied by Benedictine monks from the French Abbey of Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil. Seven times a day, the monks pray the Liturgy of the Hours under the direction of the abbot. In the crypt under the abbey there is a very interesting photo exhibition about the life and work of the Benedictines. In the souvenir shop you will find a large and diverse selection of books and artifacts. Morning Mass is held at 10 a.m. every day.
