Best Hikes to The Abbey Gate

Tips

  • "The Abbey of Saint-Pierre was ransacked in 1794 and destroyed in 1817. Currently, the following remain:
    - part of the surrounding wall with its door,
    - the buildings of the old abbey farm,
    - 18th century buildings,
    - the Saint-Ursmer collegiate church and
    - the Portelette (18th century), which is a tourist attraction.
    This beautiful baroque entrance, called Porte de Thudinie or La Portelette, was the exit on the road leading to the town of Binche. It was undoubtedly built by Father Ursmer Rancelot (who died in 1718), who is known to have done extensive work.
    On the door, you can see three works by E. Malherbe: Landelin's poverty, Ursmer's good nature and hidden in the garden, The crucified mother. "
