The Abbey Church of Saint Peter in Hastière-par-delà is among the finest Romanesque churches in the Belgian Ardennes, its solid stone nave and round arches little changed since the 11th century. The church was originally part of a Benedictine monastery; after the monastery was dissolved in the French Revolutionary period, the church alone survived as the village parish church.
Inside, look for the carved capitals on the columns and the simple, unadorned stonework typical of Romanesque construction. The crypt below the nave is particularly atmospheric. The church sits at the edge of the village directly above the Meuse, giving views over the river to the limestone cliffs on the far bank.
