Fodor's Expert Review Abbaye de Clervaux

Clervaux Religious Building

The Benedictine Abbey of Sts. Maurice and Maur was built in 1910 in the neo-Gothic style of France's famous Abbey of Cluny. It sits perched high above the town and the monks here lead a life of strict prayer and meditation. The abbey is best known for its Gregorian plainchant, which has even been released on albums. Daily visits are limited, though you can see a museum on abbey life in the crypt and visit the friendly shop (2:30–5:30 weekdays; 11:30–5:30 weekends), which sells apple juice made by the monks.
