Heritage Sites of Dinant

Dinant’s heritage is defined by its dramatic position along the Meuse River. This collection features the Citadel, a 19th-century fortress built on a rocky spur, and the Gothic Collegiate Church of Our Lady with its distinctive pear-shaped bell tower. Nearby, the Castle of Freÿr showcases formal gardens inspired by Le Nôtre, while the ruins of Crèvecœur Castle overlook the medieval village of Bouvignes. The list also includes the historic Waulsort Abbey and the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Leffe, a Premonstratensian monastery founded in 1152.
