Aldeneik Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Maaseik, Belgium
The former abbey complex stands near the Meuse River, featuring a restored parish church dedicated to Saint Anne in the Aldeneik district.
Founded in 728 by sisters Harlindis and Relindis, the abbey transformed from a Benedictine nunnery to a chapter of twelve canons in 952.
The abbey treasury, now in Saint Catherine's Church, contains the Codex Eyckensis, recognized as the oldest book in Belgium from the 8th century.
Visitors can examine medieval textiles, religious artifacts, and ancient manuscripts in the museum located within Saint Catherine's Church crypt in Maaseik.
The collection includes Anglo-Saxon liturgical embroideries from 850, featuring zoomorphic designs in gold and silk on the casula of Saints Harlindis and Relindis.
