Maredret Abbey, in Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse, is a Neo-Gothic gem founded in 1893 by Agnès de Hemptinne and 6 nuns. The monastery is located on a vast estate of 15 hectares, and is still occupied by twenty or so Benedictine Sisters. The community motto is “Ora et Labora”: “Pray and Work”. The Sisters live there almost independently thanks to the vegetable garden, orchard, goats, chickens and their source of water.
