    Hiking

    The abbey farm housed the restaurant De Abdijpoort for a long time. Stefaan Vertongen was in charge of that business until 2016, when he handed it over due to health problems. Floortje Vanderbeke then took over the Abdijpoort and turned it into a weekend restaurant and party location.
    ... until the owner decided to sell the entire site in 2019 and the buyer had plans that no longer included the restaurant.
    The business is permanently closed. The banners are still hanging on the gate.

    This protected site houses the former monastery farm of the Guldenberg Abbey.
    Especially the monumental west gate (1743) and the pigeon tower (1699) in the courtyard of the farm are remarkable. The western gate was restored in 2003 with the support of the city council and the Ministry of the Flemish Community - Monuments and Sites Department.


    You can visit the monumental gate via the Kloosterstraat. The pigeon tower is located in the courtyard (private domain) and can also be seen from the Kloosterstraat.
