The world-famous Belgian glass and crystal factory in the Cistercian abbey in Seraing near Liege was founded in June 1826 by the chemist M. Kemlin who previously worked for the Voneche crystal works in the Ardennes. Rapidly it became the epicentre of the Belgian crystal industry.
The end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th Century ushered in a golden age for Val-Saint-Lambert when the site around the former abbey expanded into an impressive village. Unfortunately, World War I brought an abrupt end to this expansion.
Val-Saint-Lambert is still well known for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces, as well as its beautiful glass services. Throughout the years, Val-Saint-Lambert has been the official glassware supplier to the Belgian Royal family and remains to be the official supplier of H.M. King Albert II of Belgium.
