A stunning place, on a par with some of the great cathedrals of the world. stunning architecture and rich history, a gem of a place to just go to and relax. It has a nice little museum attached which is mainly in dutch, but you can get a translate app on your phone, I did that with google translate and it works enough to understand what you're seeing, or you could get an audio guide. The grounds of the this place are vast! on a sunny day sitting on the green spots is lovely, there were people picnicking and people with families and games, very wholesome A real gem of a place. Also, you can more or less explore the whole place unattended and there seem to be no cameras so its really nice and relaxing and trusting. A great place to visit and highly recommended.

Very very fun place to go to! It's full of surprises. We did the big tour with an audio guide. We got some kind of little old computers, very fun!!!
Absolutely wonderful \secret garden\ out back of the abbey, filled with all manner of edible plants (herbs, berries, fruit trees; even a mini-vineyard). Perfect spot for a picnic or to soak up the sun for a few hours with a good book!
Very nice abbey to stop and visit. The church hall is vast and decorated like most Catholic churches, they have a 'treasure room' with old church artifacts to behold. Next door there's some options to eat, a breakfast (buffet) or at a restaurant. There's a small, free exhibit which leads to a nice big garden. They have the option now to have parties or celebrations in the abbey, which I find positive that the building is being used still instead of just being a sight. Friendly staff inside make for a pleasant experience altogether.
What a surprise! There's a very good 2 hour audio tour if you have the time.
A little off the main tourist trail but this is a lovingly restored Abbey now a museum with many larger than life paintings by Flemish masters.
Nice architecture! During light festival there is an amazing show here.
Really interesting!
