The Basilica of Saint-Hubert, a famous place of pilgrimage in honour of Saint-Hubert and recognised as an exceptional heritage site of Wallonia, captivates visitors with its majestic appearance and elegance. Its silhouette rises amidst a beautiful frame of Ardennes forests. It is a spectacular witness to the dynamism of a Benedictine abbey closed by the French revolutionaries. Several abbey churches, increasingly 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 current building was mainly built during the 16th century. The basilica is a real history book on architectural evolution, from the Romanesque style to the exuberance of the Gothic and Renaissance. The Baroque facade 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.
