Maredret Abbey (French: Abbaye de Maredret), also known as l’Abbaye des saints Jean et Scolastique, is a monastery of Benedictine nuns located on the edge of Maredret, a very small village in the hilly countryside to the south of Charleroi and Namur, Wallonia, Belgium. The abbey was inaugurated with the installation of seven nuns in 1893, and the abbey church was constructed between 1898 and 1907.
