Hiking

It all began in 1240, when the monks of the Belgian monastery of Notre-Dame de Leffe began brewing beer. For a long time, they produced their own abbey beer. However, during the French Revolution, the monastery was closed. It wasn't until 1929 that the monastery was revived, and the monks resumed their brewing activities. A good twenty years later, the brothers Nys and Albert Lootvoet began producing beer based on the Leffe Abbey recipe. However, their company is now owned by the brewing giant Anheuser-Bush InBev.

In 1152, Henry the Blind, Count of Namur, donated the church of Leffe to the Premonstratensians of Floreffe. The monastery resulting from this donation became an abbey in 1200. It was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries and plundered by the revolutionaries in 1794. In 1816, the current buildings were sold and converted into workshops.

They were repurchased in 1903 by French Premonstratensians who were then in exile and, starting in 1931, restored by their Flemish confreres from Tongerlo, who rebuilt the abbey.
