Historical Museum of the Principality of Stavelot-Malmedy

Historical museum of the Principality of Stavelot-Malmedy.

For over a millennium, from the day it was founded by Saint Remacle to the French Revolution, the Abbey Principality of Stavelot-Malmédy exerted its economic, political, religious and artistic influence upon an extensive territory stretching far beyond the borders of Belgium, from the Loire to the Germanic Empire.

The Museum of the Principality of Stavelot-Malmédy proposes an itinerary which is modern, intelligent and entertaining at one and the same time through the astonishing history of a State of the Old Regime (before 1789). Iconographies and music of a bygone age, artefacts and works of art are skilfully orchestrated using the most recent multimedia technologies. After a visit to the Museum, the C11th abbey church, adjoining it and brought to light by the archaeologists, takes on a whole new meaning.

NEW: Wibald Area, Abbot of the Empire, the golden age of Stavelot Abbey in the 12th century.
