Scourmont Abbey, Sacred grove and Trappist monastery in Chimay, Belgium
The monastery complex includes a church, gardens, cemetery, brewery, and dairy facilities nestled on the Scourmont plateau at 1,850 feet elevation.
In 1850, monks from Westvleteren Abbey established this monastery, transforming rocky terrain into productive agricultural land through extensive manual labor.
The monastery maintains traditional Trappist brewing methods, producing certified beers and cheeses that support both the abbey and regional economic development.
Visitors can explore the abbey grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with winter hours adjusted to close at 6:00 PM.
The abbey integrates three core elements of monastic life: prayer sessions, scriptural reading periods, and dedicated manual work intervals.
