Early in the Middle Ages, the Abdij received market rights, customs rights and the opportunity to set up a court.
The wealth is perhaps best seen in the Abdij Church. The church is from the 14th century and built primarily in a Gothic style, with the oldest parts dating from the 12th century.

"...The focal point is Thorn Abbey Church, which belonged to the abbey for Benedictine nuns founded in the 10th century. The monastery buildings were demolished after the French invaded and the stones used to wall up the windows..."

Today, only the church is a reminder of the abbey's long history. The former abbey or collegiate church was taken into use as a parish church in 1797, after which the old parish church was demolished. The largely Gothic collegiate church (with baroque furnishings) was restored and partly renovated at the end of the 19th century by the well-known architect Pierre Cuypers. After the Second World War, the church had to be restored again, after it was badly damaged in 1944. In the westwork of the church there are still a number of rooms that were once only accessible to members of the chapter, such as the ladies' choir, the chapter house and the archive room.
