The Porte de Namur is a monumental gate in the classical style. It is a remnant of the abbey walls from 1725, which were built under Abbot Jacques Hache. The walls already show their long history. Who has walked through here?

The Porte de Namur – Heritage of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville
The Porte de Namur dates from 1725 and is an impressive remnant of the former abbey of Villers-la-Ville. It was built under Abbot Jacques Hache, the 61st abbot of the abbey, who led it from 1716 to 1734.
The gate stands right next to the ruins of the abbey and is located near the tourist information point (Syndicat d’Initiative). It spans the rue de l’Abbaye (national road RN274) and provides access to the Notre-Dame des Affligés chapel and the village of Mellery.
