Saint Martin, Marcourt

Perched at the top of the village, the church of Marcourt is an eye-catcher from afar. The first written mention to this building dates from 1566. In the 14th century, the building was enlarged with a defensive tower, and at the end of the 17th century, a new nave was added. Inside, you can admire precious works of sacred art and older furniture, preserved because of the attachment of the parishioners. In the old cemetery, with its listed walls, you will discover interesting tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Church of Saint-Remacle, Jupille

The church is dedicated to Saint Remacle, bishop and founder of the abbeys of Stavelot. Historians assume that the parish of Jupille is a foundation of Stavelot origin. In the 18th century, the church was severely damaged and a new neo-Gothic sandstone church was built at the end of the 19th century

Church of Saint Nicholas,

Situated in the middle of the high street of this leading Ardennes tourist town, the church is Neo- gothic, built in 1900. It was damaged in 1945 but has been restored well. Unusually, and worth mentioning, is the permanent background music which hospitably welcomes those who enter the church. Numerous stained glass windows dating from 1980 diffuse warm colours inside.
