A fascinating and magical audio-visual show, riddled with
special effects, takes you back over a thousand years in
time, to follow the epic journey of Duke Gofrey and his
crusaders to Jerusalem. As you move from one room to another,

THE
CONVENT OF THE SEPULCRINES
The convent of the Sépulcrines, a construction dating
from the early 17th century, is inextricably bound to the past
and present of the town of Bouillon. Constructed to house the
nuns of the order of Holy-Sépulchre, founded by Godfrey
of Bouillon, it bore witness to the town's industrial activity
before taking on its present role-playing host to the tourist
and cultural multimedia attraction, the "Archéoscope
Godefroid de Bouillon" and the "Salle des Sépulcrines",
the perfect backdrop for every function. This imposing listed
building with its exceptional architecture, charged with emotion
and history, is located at the very heart of Bouillon, on the
banks of the River Semois, between the Pont de Liège
and the Pont de France just opposite the medieval castle.
