St. Paul's Abbey, Benedictine abbey in De Heilige Driehoek, Netherlands
St. Paul's Abbey features extensive brick architecture with geometric patterns, arched windows, and a central courtyard surrounded by monastic buildings.
French Benedictine monks established this religious complex in 1901, after fleeing from anti-clerical policies in France and temporarily settling in Belgium.
The abbey maintains regular prayer services and religious ceremonies, carrying forward centuries of Benedictine traditions in the Dutch religious landscape.
Visitors can access the abbey grounds through guided tours, which include the church, gardens, and selected areas of the monastic buildings.
During World War I, the abbey provided shelter to 43 Belgian boys and six brothers who escaped from Westmalle following German attacks.
