Augustinian Monastery
Augustinian Monastery, Religious historic site in Ghent, Belgium
The Augustinian Monastery features medieval architectural elements with Gothic details, spacious interiors, and traditional monastic gardens within its grounds.
The Bishop of Tournai granted permission to establish this monastery in 1296, which remained active until its dissolution in 1796.
The monastery continues to function as a venue for community gatherings while preserving historical documents and artifacts that illustrate traditional monastic practices.
