Postel Abbey, Norbertine monastery in Mol, Belgium

The rectangular complex contains a central courtyard surrounded by the church, dormitories, refectory, and administrative buildings constructed in brick and stone.

The monastery dates from 1135 when monks from Floreffe Abbey established a religious settlement that grew into a self-governing abbey by 1618.

The Saint Nicholas Church combines late Romanesque architecture with Gothic modifications made during the 17th century renovations of the religious complex.

Visitors can explore the abbey grounds daily except during religious services, with guided tours available through the tourist office in Mol.

The abbey maintains its own dairy farm and cheese production facility, creating the traditional hard Postel Abbey cheese since 1947.
