Aerial photograph of the Park Abbey heritage sitePhoto: Visit Leuven
Here we enter the heritage site Park Abbey with a story that began centuries ago in 1129.
The Norbertines have inhabited the domain from then until the present day. The site is beautifully preserved and restored and bustles with activity. The building complex, which includes a tithe barn, a coach house, farm buildings and guest quarters, is set amid green meadows and water. Highly recommended is PARCUM, the Museum and Expertise Centre for religious art and culture. There you can learn more about the impressive abbey history and also find hidden heritage from churches, abbeys and monasteries. At Brasserie De Abdijmolen, you can enjoy the delicious food and the view of the ponds in the restored water mill. Who knows; during your journey you might be treated to the bells of the Peace Carillon, the world’s largest musical instrument located in the church tower of Park Abbey.
