Grimbergen Abbey, Premonstratensian abbey in Grimbergen, Belgium
The Grimbergen Abbey complex features a church of Saint Servatius and stands as a prominent religious structure in the Flemish Brabant region.
Founded in 1128 by Saint Norbert of Xanten, the abbey underwent three major reconstructions after fires, with the current structure dating from 1660.
The monastery maintains religious traditions through daily prayers and ceremonies while operating a microbrewery that produces beer according to ancient recipes.
Visitors can access the abbey grounds daily, join guided tours of the church, and participate in religious services at specific hours.
The abbey adopted the phoenix as its symbol and the motto 'ardet nec consumitur' after surviving multiple destructions throughout its history.
