Chimay Abbey, Trappist monastery in Chimay, Belgium.
The monastery complex includes gardens, a church, and buildings where monks maintain the traditions of brewing and cheese making through manual labor.
Founded in 1850, a group of Trappist monks established themselves on the Scourmont plateau and developed farming, brewing, and cheese production facilities.
The monastery maintains Trappist traditions dating to the 6th century, with monks dedicating their lives to prayer and manual work within the Cistercian order.
Visitors can explore the abbey grounds throughout the year and experience the products at Espace Chimay, which includes the Poteaupré Inn and shop.
The monastery produces internationally recognized Trappist beers and cheeses, with proceeds supporting both local initiatives and global charitable foundations.
