The Abbey of Berne was founded by knight Fulco van Berne in 1134 in the Gelderland town of Berne aan de Maas, the present day Bern. This makes it the oldest existing monastic community in the Netherlands.
The order was founded by Saint Norbert van Gennep. The Premonstratensians live according to the Rule of Augustine. The abbey forms a canon with the priories in Hierden and Tilburg and is part of the Brabant circarie.
