Orval Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Orval Abbey is a legendary place that combines history, culture, spirituality, and gourmet delights. The famous Orval Trappist beer is still brewed here, according to the original recipe. The label of the Orval bottle, as well as many of the abbey's ornaments, features a trout and a ring. Legend has it that Countess Mathilde de Canossa accidentally dropped her wedding ring into a fountain here. She prayed to God, and a trout appeared on the surface of the water, carrying the precious ring in its mouth. "It's a Val d'Or," cried the noblewoman. And she decided to found a monastery in this blessed place...
