Bonne-Espérance Abbey was a Premonstratensian monastery founded in 1130 in Vellereille-les-Brayeux, in present-day Belgium's Hainaut province. The abbey functioned until the end of the 18th century, developing a built complex that reflects both Gothic and Neoclassical architectural traditions. Today the site is recognized as an exceptional heritage property of Wallonia, protected for its historical and architectural significance as a window into medieval monastic life and the ecclesiastical architecture of the Diocese of Tournai.
