Sint-Adriaansabdij, Benedictine abbey complex in Geraardsbergen, Belgium

The Sint-Adriaansabdij consists of three main structures: an abbey wing with the abbot's residence, a gate building, and a southern stable wing.

The abbey relocated from Sint-Pieter Abbey in Dikkelvenne to Geraardsbergen in 1096 at the request of Count Robert II of Jerusalem.

The first floor museum exhibits the Guillemin family collection, while the second floor houses collections of matches, cigars, pipes, and Chantilly lace.

The abbey complex opens from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with admission tickets costing 1.25 euros.

The former abbey kitchen maintains its original reconstruction, demonstrating historical cooking methods and equipment from the medieval period.
