Maredret Abbey (also known as l’Abbaye des saints Jean et Scolastique) is a monastery of Benedictine nuns, located on the edge of , a very small village in the hilly countryside to the south of Charleroi and Namur. The abbey was inaugurated with the installation of seven nuns in 1893, and the abbey church was constructed between 1898 and 1907.
Maredret is affiliated with the Congregation of the Annunciation within the Benedictine Confederation.
==History==
The abbey's foundation was part of the wider monastic revival of the nineteenth century. The project to establish a community of Benedictine nuns at Maredret was set in motion by Agnès de Hemptinne, a member of a local family of aristocrats. Land was provided by the Desclée family, and the first stone was put in place on 5 August 1891. Building was completed only in 1936, however. The monastery comprises a compact collection of stone buildings in a neo-gothic style, under a traditional slate roof, and sited on a hill-side, overlooking Maredret and the valley.〔
The abbey church, completed in 1907, was one of the final projects of the fashionable Gothic revival Gent-based architect .〔 The interior and the windows have been described as remarkable. Later buildings were the work of a succession of local architects. The site of 15 hectares is surrounded by a high wall of rough stone, enhanced with two medieval style towers.〔
