Ter Doest Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Lissewege, Belgium
The medieval stone structure features a massive tithe barn measuring 50 meters in length, 24 meters in width, and 31 meters in height.
Founded in 1175 as a Benedictine monastery, the abbey later joined the Cistercian order and became a daughter house of Ten Duinen Abbey in Koksijde.
The monks of Ter Doest Abbey contributed to land reclamation efforts in coastal areas of Flanders, Zeeland, and Holland while engaging in wool trade.
Located 8 kilometers from central Bruges, visitors can access the historical site daily between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to explore its architectural elements.
In 1285, Saint Thorfinn, an exiled bishop from Hamar, Norway, found refuge at Ter Doest Abbey and remained there until his death.
