    Abbey Our Lady of Nazareth

    The sisters of the order of Trappistines live in this oasis of peace. Their main activities are the making of liturgical vestments, flags and dishwashing liquid, soap, bath foam, shampoo and natural toilet soaps. The original Abbey of Our Lady of Nazareth was located in Lier. In 1797, during the French Revolution, the abbey was closed and sold. Only the entrance gate and the barn have been preserved. In 1946 the reclamation works for a new abbey on the Brechtse Heide started. On June 25, 1950, thirteen sisters from the abbey of Soleilmont near Charleroi withdrew permanently behind the new abbey walls. On June 25, 1986, the abbey received official recognition that the abbey in Brecht is the continuation of the old Nazareth in Lier

      Nice short stop to take a look behind the monastery walls.
