Dieleghem Abbey, Former abbey and museum in Jette, Belgium.

The remaining abbot's residence from 1783 stands as a classical architecture structure built with local Dieleghem sandstone in Brussels municipality.

Founded in 1095 by Augustinian canons, the abbey changed to Premonstratensian order in 1140 and maintained significant influence until its dissolution in 1796.

The abbots of Dieleghem represented religious authority in the States of Brabant from 1532, participating in regional governance alongside nobility and commoners.

Visitors can explore the museum collections housed in the abbot's palace through guided tours, with entrance at Rue Jean Tiebackx 14 in Jette.

The surrounding landscape reveals traces of medieval quarrying activities that provided construction materials for the original abbey complex.
