Binche City Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

The fortress walls of Binche (French: remparts de Binche or enceinte de Binche) are an impressive historical monument that surrounds the center of Binche. This medieval wall, built between the 12th and 14th centuries, is a witness to the city's rich history. The first wall was built in the 12th century and stretched from the current Grand Place to the middle of the rue Notre Dame. With a length of 2100 meters and 25 remaining towers, the fortress walls of Binche are the best preserved medieval wall in Belgium. They are protected as an Exceptional Heritage of Wallonia. A walk along these walls offers a fascinating insight into Binche's past.

Abbey of Bonne-Espérance

Highlight • Religious Site

Located in the heart of the Hainaut countryside, the Abbey of Our Lady of Good Hope is steeped in history. Nine centuries old, the monument was occupied from the very beginning by religious leaders living in complete self-sufficiency. Listed as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia, the primary and secondary education establishment is also a diocesan reception and retreat center for families, young people, and pilgrims. It is also a must-see for tourists and families who enjoy discovering the history of this abbey.
