Rolduc Abbey is a former abbey from the 12th century, which is said to have been founded in 1104 by Pastor Ailbertus van Antoing. In addition to the abbey church, the vast complex includes an abbey building in Mosan Renaissance style (abbey wing and water tower, 1671), an 18th-century Baroque abbey wing, the monastery farm dating largely from the 18th century and other economic buildings. The crypt of the abbey church is famous for its 12th century carved capitals, which are among the highlights of Mosan art. The Romanesque columns themselves, sometimes spiral-shaped or decorated with zigzag patterns, are of great beauty.
Roman Catholic church, built in 1843, retaining the 18th-century tower, against which the current choir was built. Three-aisled neoclassical pseudo-basilica. Enlarged westwards in 1956. Internally plastered barrel vaults and Tuscan columns. Very rich main altar in Louis XV style from the second half of the 18th century and two 17th-century side altars. Organ with main work, positive and free pedal, made in 1848 by the Müller brothers from Reifferscheidt (Germany). Restored to its original state in 1987. Bell frame with bell by anonymous founder, 1763, diameter 49 cm.
This modern church replaced, among others, the nearby neo-Romanesque St. Peter's Church, which was demolished due to mine damage.
