Did you know?

• On this page on the Visit Leuven website, you’ll find some impressive facts you can share. Facts we find most interesting:
  • Best-preserved abbey of Belgium
  • 900 years old
  • Recently restored > the former library and dining area of the Norbertine monks have unique 3D stucco ceilings
  • The buildings are systematically being brought back into use – preserving their original functions while adapting them to a contemporary context. Nowadays, next to the museum, there is an abbey brewery, a farm producing local products, an abbey farm shop…
