About Benedictine Palace
The Palais Bénédictine is a stunning late 19th-century palace built between 1888-1900 by wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand in an extraordinary blend of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance styles. This unique architectural masterpiece serves as both the world's only Bénédictine liqueur distillery and a museum housing exceptional collections of sacred art from the 14th-16th centuries. Visitors can explore the opulent palace interiors adorned with intricate carvings, stained glass, and period furnishings before taking a guided tour of the working distillery where the famous herbal liqueur has been produced since 1863.

The original Palais Bénédictine was destroyed by criminal arson in 1892, just four years after construction began. Rather than being discouraged, Alexandre Le Grand commissioned an even more elaborate reconstruction that took until 1900 to complete. Tragically, he died in 1898 and never saw his finished masterpiece — the palace was inaugurated two years after his death.
