Egmond Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Egmond-Binnen, Netherlands

The monastery complex includes a modern abbey church, monastic quarters, a candle workshop, a farm, and gardens across its grounds.

Founded in 601, the original wooden structure was replaced by stone buildings in 950 under Count Dirk II of Holland's direction.

The monastery maintains a collection of religious relics, including those of Saint Adalbert, Saint Willibrord, and Saint Benedict of Nursia.

Visitors can purchase handmade candles, organic cheese, and specialty beers produced by the monastic community at the abbey shop.

The remains of Saint Adalbert rest in a transparent case within the high altar of the current abbey church since 1984.
