The Red Monastery or Rooklooster (French: Rouge Cloître) was an Augustinian priory in the Sonian Forest, near the village of Auderghem (Brussels, Belgium), which started in 1368 and was largely demolished in 1789. The domain is owned by the Brussels-Capital Region. The redevelopment of the domain started in 1997. It was completed in 2007.

Nice open air bar ("guinguette") in the central court in the summer time if you want to stop for a snack or refreshment.
