Auberge de Poteaupré – Espace Chimay

Highlight • Restaurant

L'Auberge de Poteaupré is a brasserie-restaurant-hotel of Espace Chimay and is the ideal place to enjoy products from Scourmont Abbey and the region around Chimay. The store is located near the Notre-Dame de Scourmont abbey and has been welcoming guests in a warm, rural atmosphere for over 100 years. The dishes are a mix of tradition and gastronomy, and the lively atmosphere is reminiscent of an English pub serving Chimay beer and cheese.

Main Square of Chimay

Highlight • Settlement

It was probably in the middle of the 10th century that the Lord of Chimay founded a chapter of canons which will be at the origin of the Collegiate Church of Chimay, one of the most beautiful religious buildings in the Province of Hainaut.

In plan, the church includes a central nave of five bays bordered by narrower aisles onto which open an equal number of chapels installed between the buttresses. The oriented choir (1250), with a flat apse, comprises four bays, it is part of the architecture in use in Laonnais and Soissonnais. The rest of the building belongs to the Hainaut Gothic style characterized by great sobriety (15th century).

In the choir, we can still see a high altar in colored marble, a taulet from the end of the 15th century and the funeral plaques of the last two princely families.

The beautiful mausoleum of Charles de Croÿ, godfather of Charles V, 1st Prince of Chimay (died in 1527) is decorated with a superb alabaster recumbent figure.

The bulbous bell tower surmounting the tower erected from 1732 to 1742 houses a unique carillon. A real bell piano with a small keyboard, it has the particularity of not having an E flat. It has a total of 26 bells, the oldest of which dates from the 17th century.

Chimay

Highlight • Settlement

Chimay is located in the extreme south of Belgium on the border with France. The small town has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, but is known far beyond the borders of Belgium. This is mainly due to the fantastic Trappist beer that is brewed here and exported all over the world.
