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.
