Tips from the Community
The Abbey of La Ramée, located in Jauchelette (Geldenaken), was founded around 1215 by Héluide, abbess of Nijvel. The Cistercian nuns moved in 1216 to the banks of the Great Gete and came under the spiritual authority of the neighboring Abbey of Villers-la-Ville. In the 13th century, the community experienced a period of flourishing thanks to Cistercian mysticism and a highly regarded scriptorium. The abbey managed to acquire a large agricultural area and became very prosperous. However, during the 16th and 17th centuries, the monastery was repeatedly plundered due to wars, forcing the sisters to flee temporarily. In 1706, the English general Marlborough even set up a field hospital there during the Battle of Ramillies. After the French Revolution, the abbey was confiscated in 1796 and sold as national property. The monastic buildings were largely dismantled, but the farm and associated agricultural lands were spared. In 1722, the spectacular tithe barn was built, which is still considered the largest in Belgium today. In 1980, the complex was recognized as exceptional heritage of Wallonia. After a thorough restoration in the 90s, the domain serves as an exclusive venue for seminars and business events.

With a height of 15 meters and a diameter of 52 meters, this burial mound is the largest in Belgium. The base today hides a circular wall with a diameter of 46 meters. A second circular wall was discovered during archaeological surveys in 2002, outside the first circle and built after the leveling of the ground. The mound and its surroundings were classified as a historical monument in 1971.

Renovated remains of a former commandery of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of Malta, also known as the Maltese Order, which originated after the Crusades. The original commandery (farmhouse with tithe barn), known as the Commanderie van Chantraine, no longer exists in its original twelfth-century form, but is well worth a visit, with buildings dating back to the seventeenth century.

La Ramée Abbey, founded around 1215 by Héluide, is located in Walloon Brabant, at a bend in the Grande Gette River. It was almost entirely rebuilt in the 18th century. In 1796, the Revolution dispersed its community, leading to the abbey's sale in 1799. Today, La Ramée Abbey is used exclusively for hosting business seminars.
