    The Abbey of Grimbergen is a Norbertine abbey in the Brabantine circarie. It is located in Grimbergen, approximately 10 kilometres north of Brussels. It is the oldest inhabited Norbertine abbey in Belgium.

    The emblem of the abbey is the phoenix, derived from Greek mythology. Just as this bird rises from its ashes, the abbey was rebuilt after repeated destruction. This is also expressed in the motto ardet nec consumitur.

      Grimbergen Abbey (Canonia Grimbergensis in Latin) is a Norbertine abbey in the Brabant circary. It is located in Grimbergen (province of Flemish Brabant), about 10 kilometers north of Brussels. It is the oldest inhabited Norbertine abbey in Belgium.
      The emblem of the abbey is the phoenix, taken from Greek mythology. Just as this bird rises from its ashes, the abbey was rebuilt after repeated destruction (in 1142, 1579 and 1816). This is also expressed in the slogan ardet nec consumitur ("it burns, but is not consumed").
