Taking a vow of a simple life, the Trappist monks of this Cistercian abbey devote themselves to prayer and manual labor. A farm, a brewery, and a cheese dairy have been established around the monastery.

If you are in the area, don’t hesitate to make the detour to pass through this haven of peace. The beauty and peacefulness of nature are worth the detour.

The woods of Scourmont gave its name to an abbey of Cistercian-Trappist monks, founded on land offered by Prince Joseph de Chimay. The monks cleared the land there and built the monastery, introducing the production of Chimay's famous Trappist beer and cheese a few years later. The wood itself, adjacent to the abbey, offers peaceful paths for walks and tours to explore the gardens.

The Auberge de Poteaupré, brasserie-restaurant-hotel at Espace Chimay, is the ideal place to taste the products of Scourmont Abbey and the Chimay region. Located near the Notre-Dame de Scourmont abbey, it has welcomed its guests in a warm and rural atmosphere for more than 100 years. The dishes are a mix of tradition and gastronomy, and the lively atmosphere is reminiscent of an English pub where beer and Chimay cheese are served.

Beautiful forest to stay
