Maredsous Abbey is a Benedictine monastery located in Maredsous, in the town of Anhée, in the province of Namur (Belgium). It was founded in the form of a priory on November 15, 1872 by the abbey of Beuron, with the financial support of the Desclée family, who donated the land, paid for the plans and the construction of the buildings designed by the architect. Jean-Baptiste Bethune.
In 1878, the priory of Maredsous was elevated to the rank of abbey by Pope Leo XIII and was then part of the Congregation of Beuron. The abbey is then affiliated to the Congregation of the Annunciation within the Benedictine confederation, from 1920. It is by pontifical brief of Pius XI dated October 12, 1926 that the abbey church acquired the title of basilica minor.
If some Maredsous cheeses are really matured in the cheese factory of the monastery itself, the beer called “Maredsous beer” is not brewed at the monastery, the abbey having entrusted the production and marketing to the Duvel Moortgat brewery located in the Region. Flemish.
