The Basilica of Saint-Hubert, well-known place of pilgrimage in honour of Saint-Hubert and recognised as exceptional heritage of Wallonia, charms visitors with its majesty and elegance. Her silhouette rises amid a beautiful frame of Ardennes forests.She is the spectacular witness to the dynamics of a Benedictine abbey that was closed down by the French revolutionaries. Several abbey churches, larger and larger, followed one another, both for monastic life and for the devotion of pilgrims.While the first foundations date back to the 7th century, the present building was mainly erected during the 16th century. The basilica is a veritable history book of architectural evolution, from the Romanesque style to the excesses of Gothic and Renaissance. The baroque of the façade from the early 18th century contrasts with the interior, where, the light makes the colours of the materials so intense: blue, yellow, pink stones, marble and wood.Info booklet on sale at the "Maison du Tourisme" and at the basilica FR/NL/EN/DE
