Exceptional heritage of Wallonia, and a major pilgrimage centre in the middle of the Ardenne Forest, the beauty and elegance of Saint-Hubert’s basilica surprises visitors.
Several abbey churches, each one successively larger, followed each other at Saint-Hubert. They served the purpose both for monastic practices and for pilgrims’ devotion. The first foundations originated in the 9th century. The current building was, for the most part, built in the 16th century.The Baroque facade from the beginning of the 18th century contrasts with the elongated gothic interior, which is pure light and colour.
Several holy relics reside in the treasury chapel. It is noted that the relics of Saint-Hubert were moved to a location still unknown.
