Abbey of Our Lady of Baudeloo, Cistercian monastery in Klein-Sinaai and Ghent, Belgium
The Baudeloo Abbey complex spans across multiple buildings constructed in late Gothic style, featuring a church with a neoclassical portico and Hemony carillon.
Founded in 1215 near Klein-Sinaai, the abbey relocated to Ghent after the monks returned from exile in Cologne during the Protestant conflicts of 1578.
The monastery transformed into the Ghent University Library after 1795, storing numerous books and manuscripts from various religious institutions across Flanders.
The former abbey church now functions as a food market, equipped with underfloor heating systems to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
The abbey houses an organ that young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played during his visit in 1765, marking a significant musical connection.
