Red Cloister, Protected heritage site in Auderghem, Belgium
The Red Cloister is a protected heritage site in Auderghem that encompasses multiple historical buildings surrounded by green spaces, with a park near the Sonian Forest. The complex blends medieval structures with modern facilities and invites exploration.
The complex was founded in 1366 as an Augustinian priory and played a role in regional religious life for centuries. Its secularization in the late 1700s transformed its purpose, eventually enabling its current use for culture and art.
The cloister functions today as a contemporary art center, hosting regular exhibitions of Belgian and international artists within the restored medieval buildings. Visitors experience a blend of spiritual heritage and modern artistic practice in an active space.
You can reach the site on foot in about 18 minutes from Herrmann-Debroux Metro station or by several bus lines serving the area. The grounds are accessible and a visit pairs well with a walk through the surrounding green spaces.
The buildings showcase architectural elements from different periods, documenting the site's evolution over centuries. This layering of styles and eras makes it engaging for anyone who enjoys reading history through stone and structure.
