Brasserie Historique de l’Abbaye du Cateau

La Brasserie Historique de l’abbaye du Cateau Erected on the site of an original Benedictine Abbey, “la Brasserie Historique de l’Abbaye du Cateau” was built in 1913. After 13 years of success, the brewing activities were stopped and the building was then used as a depot for the former brewery of the abbey of Solesmes. In the 40’s, during the Second World War, the building was used to house Allied troops. It was not until 50 years of neglect and 4 years of renovation that the brewery was reopened. Now classified as a “Historical Monument” it is the only gravity brewery to remain active in Europe. We have turned it into a living museum to welcome beer lovers and have created a beautiful restaurant inside the brewery so visitors can enjoy the beers and savor some local dishes. Show Less
