Hamme-Mille

Hamme-Mille is a district of the municipality of Beauvechain, located in the province of Walloon Brabant, Belgium.

In 1235, Henry II, Duke of Brabant founded a Cistercian abbey for nuns, the Valduc Abbey, in Hamme.

Today nothing remains of the abbey, which was dismantled and sold as rubble following the French Revolution.

On its foundations a large country house was built in 1867 and designed by Gérard Van der Linden [fr].

In Mille there is also a well-preserved medieval chapel, dedicated to Saint Cornelius.
