In the Middle Ages, the silhouette of the Dune Abbey dominated the Koksijde landscape.

The Ten Duinen Abbey Museum has the history of the Cistercians in the Low Countries as its theme, with special attention to the Dune Abbey.

Free admission with the museum pass.

A visit to the medieval abbey is like stepping back in time.

In the Middle Ages, the silhouette of the Dune Abbey dominated the Koksijde landscape. A visit to the Abbey Museum allows you to stroll peacefully along its ancient walls, surrounded by beautiful nature. Marvel at unique collection pieces discovered by archaeologists on-site, learn about the abbey's history, and the important role of the Dune Lords in the region.

The abbey's construction is also fascinating. Be amazed by the authentic reconstruction in LEGO® bricks!

Thanks to 'Ten Duinen@1490', you can discover for yourself what this impressive abbey must have looked like at the end of the 15th century. Be amazed by the church's architecture, for example, or the beautifully decorated manuscripts. Everything has been recreated as accurately as possible in a virtual world.

A visit to this museum is free with a Museum Pass.
