Brogne Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Gérard, Belgium.
The abbey complex includes two preserved 18th-century farms and an abbatial building with decorated interiors and a Louis XV staircase.
Gerard of Brogne founded this religious establishment in 901, obtaining a significant relic of Saint Eugenius from the Abbey of Saint-Denis.
The monastery implemented strict Benedictine reforms under Gerard's leadership, influencing eighteen other religious communities throughout the region.
The former abbey buildings now function as a cultural center hosting exhibitions and seminars, with an operating microbrewery on the premises.
The underground crypt from the 13th century remains intact, preserving the original medieval architecture beneath the more recent structures.
