Postel Abbey is a centuries-old monastery located in the village of Postel. The abbey was founded in 1138 by the Premonstratensians, a monastic order that lives according to the rules of Saint Augustine.

Over the centuries, the abbey has experienced various periods of prosperity and adversity. During the French Revolution the abbey was closed and the monks were expelled, but the abbey was refounded later in the 19th century.

Today, Postel Abbey is still active as a monastery and is home to a Premonstratensian community. It is also a popular tourist destination for its beautiful abbey buildings, serene atmosphere, and abbey shop selling local produce and artisan goods such as cheeses, beers, and religious souvenirs.
