Adeps 5km walk on January 25, 2026, great walk! And beautiful view of the seminary!

The road is a bit rough. From there, either go up to Franière along the Sambre or head towards Namur via Profondeville, which are two very pleasant directions.

Beautiful abbey, worth a detour

The Abbey of Floreffe is an influential Norbertine abbey that was founded in 1121 in Floreffe by Norbertus van Gennep at the request of Count Robrecht II of Namen. It was a daughter abbey of the Abbey of Prémontré, which was founded in 1120 as the first Norbertine monastery. The abbey has not only had influence as such, but the foundations from this abbey have in turn been of great importance. During the first two centuries of its existence, the abbey was very active in founding new priories and abbeys. For example, the Priory of Postel was founded in 1138 and the Priory of Leffe in 1152.

The Floreffe Abbey, founded in 1121 by St. Norbert, dominates the Sambre valley. Its walls encircle a magnificent forecourt and were built between the 12th and 18th centuries. In the 100-metre-long abbey church, you will discover magnificent choir stalls from the Baroque period. An interesting museum has been housed in the medieval outbuildings of the abbey. In the mill-brewery from 1250, the oldest industrial construction in the province of Namur, you can try various products made in the abbey. In a craft boutique, you will discover the different facets of various regional crafts. A flower studio and a studio with sculptures and wood paintings complete your visit. (Ardennen.nl)

Saturday 4 March 1944 The fourth winter of the war is coming to an end, but drizzle is falling and snow is covering the region. Germany is in a difficult situation. That day, the Allies decided to bomb Berlin, the capital of the Reich. More than a thousand B17 air fortresses filled with five hundred kilos of bombs, explosives and incendiary bombs took off from England. The terrible weather conditions and very dense cloud forced these planes to turn around. For the return flight, they had to lighten as much as possible by dropping their bombs at random. It was a tragedy for Floreffe, the Préat district and the Robersart farm. In total, no fewer than 84 bomb hits were recorded that day, killing nine people, wounding many and destroying several houses. May these innocent civilian victims live on in our memories forever.
