Saint-Andrew Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Bruges, Belgium
The monastery consists of a central chapel surrounded by two wings featuring Gothic architectural elements, high arched windows, and stone masonry details.
The original abbey, founded in 1100 by Count Robert II of Flanders after surviving the First Crusade, remained active until its destruction during the French Revolution.
The monks maintain traditional practices of brewing beer and producing cheese, contributing to the preservation of Belgian monastic craftsmanship.
The monastery opens its doors to visitors during specific hours, allowing exploration of the grounds and participation in guided tours through the gardens.
The current structure, built in 1899, incorporates seven chapels representing the major basilicas of Rome within its Neo-Romanesque-Byzantine design.
