Malmedy

Malmedy is best known within Wallonia for the Cwarmê, its centuries-old Carnival whose costumed processions include the distinctive Haguète and Longs-Nés figures. The town stands on the Warche River in the Ardennes, near the High Fens, a high plateau of heath and peatland that gives this part of eastern Belgium a markedly different character from the country’s lowlands. Malmedy grew around a Benedictine abbey founded in the 7th century; its former abbey church is now the Cathedral of Saints Peter, Paul and Quirin.
