Cambron Abbey, Medieval Cistercian monastery in Brugelette, Belgium
The remains of Cambron Abbey extend across 52 hectares of parkland, featuring an entrance gate from 1722 and a neoclassical tower built in 1774.
Twelve monks from Clairvaux established the monastery in 1148 under the guidance of Bernard of Clairvaux, transforming it into a major religious center in Hainaut.
The monastery developed agricultural techniques that improved regional farming methods and contributed to the advancement of the rural population in medieval Belgium.
The former abbey now functions as part of Pairi Daiza, where visitors can explore historical structures while experiencing a modern animal park.
Four varieties of abbey beer are produced on the grounds, maintaining the centuries-old brewing tradition of the original Cistercian monastery.
