Abbey of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Nieuwe Plant, Medieval monastery in Roesbrugge and Ypres, Belgium.
The abbey features a three-story structure with red brick walls, mansard roofs, and a central tower in Stuersstraat, Ypres.
Founded in 1236 by Willem van Bethune and Elisabeth van Roesbrugge, the abbey relocated from Roesbrugge to Ypres in 1588 during religious conflicts.
The monastery integrated into the Congregation of Windesheim and established an educational institution that continues through the present Lyceum.
The current abbey complex occupies 5,339 square meters at Maloulaan 2 in Ypres, functioning as an educational center and heritage site.
The buildings underwent complete reconstruction in 1920 by architect Camille Damman after total destruction during World War I.
