    Gatehouse of the former Abbey of Nazareth

    The Cistercian Order was established in Lier for more than five centuries (1236-1797).

    In 1236 the sisters moved into the new Abbey of Nazareth in Anderstad.

    In 1579 this abbey was burned down during the religious wars and the sisters were expelled.

    In 1583 they returned to their refuge in the city (Blokstraat 5) and in 1616 they moved into their new abbey at Kloosterheide.

    During the French Revolution in 1797, the abbey was in turn destroyed. Only the gatehouse remained and can still be seen today.

    With a bit of luck, the gate will be open and you will have a view of the courtyard.
