Rochefort Abbey, Trappist monastery in Rochefort, Belgium.
The monastery includes Gothic structures with limestone walls, a Baroque bell tower, and modern stained glass windows by Louis-Marie Londot and Jean-Michel Folon.
Founded in 1230 by Gilles de Walcourt as a Cistercian nunnery, the abbey transformed into a male monastic community in 1464 under Louis de la Marck's orders.
The abbey maintains the centuries-old tradition of brewing Trappist beer, producing three variations marked by numbers 6, 8, and 10 based on their must density.
While the monastery remains closed to visitors, people can participate in community prayers and learn about its heritage through the local tourist information center.
The water from Tridaine spring and specialized yeast strains cultivated within the abbey walls contribute to the production of Rochefort Trappist beer.
