Westmalle Abbey, Trappist monastery and brewery in Malle, Belgium.
The Westmalle Abbey encompasses a monastery complex with church buildings, gardens, brewery facilities, and accommodations for both monks and visitors.
Founded in 1794 during the French Revolution, the monastery received its abbey status in 1836 and initiated beer production the same year.
The monks follow the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, dedicating their lives to prayer, contemplation, and manual labor including brewing.
The abbey accepts guests in its retreat house, where individuals can stay and participate in daily prayer services alongside the monastic community.
The monastery produces three certified Trappist beers - Extra, Dubbel, and Tripel - alongside cheese products aged within the abbey walls.
