Stenay still has important historic buildings from the Renaissance. In the centre, close to a kiosk, it is pleasant to stroll past the shops in the Arcades, which date back to the 16th century and enjoy pride of place opposite the town hall. The former Minimes convent is also worth a visit. It was founded in 1617 and is now the Albert Toussaint primary school. The same can be said of the former citadel shop, which is now the European Museum of Beer. Proud of its history and past life as a fortress town, Stenay also played its part in the First World War. Following the Battle of the Frontiers and Battle of the Meuse, in September 1914, the Crown Prince, who was the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II and next line to the throne, established his headquarters in
the town. He resided in the Château des Tilleuls and stayed there until February 1918.
