Roosenberg Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Waasmunster, Belgium
The Roosenberg Abbey features an octagonal church with a gallery and natural light pouring through strategically placed windows throughout the structure.
Founded in 1238, the abbey moved locations multiple times due to destruction, with the current building constructed in 1975 by architect Dom Hans van der Laan.
The monastery incorporates the architectural principle of the Plastic Number, where every dimension and proportion follows a specific mathematical relationship.
The monastery serves as a study and conference center managed by KU Leuven, focusing on architecture, meaning, and art within its facilities.
Every aspect of the abbey, from walls to furniture, maintains a precise ratio of 1:7, creating a mathematical harmony throughout the entire complex.
