Religious Heritage

Religion has marked the world history and especially that of Belgium. It has left its mark on our landscape and influenced our culture and daily life. You can discover one of our most beautiful religious monuments; some of them are still inhabited by religious communities or are still in active use. In most cases they are breweries or cheese factures where the products can be sampled and bought on the spot. In other cases, the monuments have been transformed, for example into museums. You will get one surprise after another when you focus on these themes by visiting the SANCTUARY OF BEAURAING (BEAURAING) or the SANCTUARY OF THE VIRGIN OF THE POOR (SPRIMONT). You will discover some passionate places!
