Park Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Heverlee, Belgium
The Park Abbey complex spans 42 hectares of land, containing multiple ponds, trails, historic buildings, gardens, and a cemetery on its extensive grounds.
Duke Godfrey established the monastery in 1129 by inviting Premonstratensian canons to manage a small church he built within his park near Leuven.
The PARCUM museum inside Park Abbey exhibits religious art collections and organizes exhibitions focusing on the intersection of faith and society.
Visitors can access Park Abbey from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with admission tickets priced at 12 euros for adults.
The abbey library features intricate stucco ceilings, while the cloister displays 20 restored glass panels dating from the 1600s.
