Bois-Seigneur-Isaac Abbey
Bois-Seigneur-Isaac Abbey, Medieval abbey in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium
The Bois-Seigneur-Isaac Abbey features a Gothic chapel with a bell tower, decorated stalls, and a 16th-century ceiling displaying artistic elements from different periods.
The abbey was founded in 1413 as an Augustinian monastery and became independent in 1416 under the name Abbatia Silvae Domini-Isaac within the Windesheim Congregation.
A reported eucharistic miracle in 1405, where a consecrated host fragment began to bleed during Mass, established the site as a pilgrimage destination.
The Lebanese Maronite Order currently maintains the abbey, welcoming visitors to explore its religious heritage and architectural features throughout the year.
The abbey houses relics of Saint Charbel, brought by the Lebanese Maronite Order in 2010, adding a new spiritual dimension to this centuries-old religious site.
