The abbots of abbeys and monasteries had early refuges or refuges built in the walled towns. They can stay there if they are in the city or in transit. In times of war, the refuges also provide protection. The refuge of the Abbey of Sint-Truiden was founded in the 16th century by the Benedictine abbey of Sint-Truiden. Smart, because that way they can keep in touch with the archbishop in Mechelen. Today this beautiful building is part of the Archbishop's Palace. The buildings are connected by a covered bridge. The Archbishop's Palace is not open to visitors.
