    Tips

    The Cistercians of the imposing Saint Bernard Abbey, founded in 1243, are the founders of clay mining and brick production in the Rupel region. In the Middle Ages, the abbey was one of the richest in Western Europe. The French Revolution decided the fate of the Cistercians. The abbey church was demolished and in 1811 a naval hospital was built in full Napoleonic time. Later, the building complex was still used as a prison, etc... Now it is used as a town hall. The 14 ha park is simple but historic. There are also two museums. The Heem Museum and the Tile Museum Gilliot. Well worth a visit.
