La Cambre Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Ixelles, Belgium
The stone abbey complex features classical architecture with Gothic elements, including a church, cloister, and formal French-style gardens on multiple terraces.
Founded in 1201 by Gisèle, a noble lady from Brussels, the abbey became a spiritual center before suffering damage during religious conflicts in the 16th century.
The abbey grounds now house La Cambre art school, maintaining an educational legacy while preserving the historical structures and gardens for public appreciation.
Located between the Ixelles ponds and Bois de la Cambre park, the abbey welcomes visitors to explore its gardens managed by Bruxelles Environnement.
The monastery retains its 14th-century Gothic church and cloister, making it the most complete medieval religious complex in the Brussels region.
