[[File:Cour des quatre-jardins.JPG|250px|thumb|Ruins of [[Villers Abbey]]]]
To the north of the village lie the ruins of the [[Villers Abbey]], which was one of the most important [[Cistercian]] abbeys of Europe. It was founded in 1147 and destroyed by the French republicans in 1795. In the ruined church attached to the abbey the tombstones of several [[Duke of Brabant|dukes of Brabant]] of the 13th and 14th centuries are still to be found.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y |wstitle=Villers la Ville |volume=28 |page=86}}</ref>

The ruins also appear in the final episode of season 2 of [[sense8]].
