Val-Dieu Abbey
Abbaye du Val-Dieu
A 13th-century Cistercian abbey in the Herve Valley, famous for its Val-Dieu beer and cheese. Visitors can tour the church and taste beer in the tavern.
Val-Dieu Abbey was founded in 1216 and sits in the Berwinne Valley on the Herve Plateau, surrounded by pastures and orchards. It is one of the few abbeys in Belgium that have continued for centuries. The abbey brews the famous Val-Dieu beers. The on-site tavern serves blonde, brown, and triple beers, paired with local Herve cheese. Visitors can tour the abbey church and cloister, and there are brewery tours. It is about 25 km from Liège, roughly 30 minutes by car.
