Tips

July 4, 2024

The abbey of 't Park is located southeast of Leuven in the Molenbeek valley. This historic site, the abbey, the watermill, the outbuildings and the ponds have remained virtually unchanged for the last 230 years.

The abbey underwent 4 construction campaigns, making it one of the most beautiful in the Benelux, a monumental complex and a monument of beauty surrounded by a number of beautiful avenues. From the first construction period we note a first Romanesque church, cloister and dormitory dating from the 13th century. In the 15th century, the cloister was rebuilt in Gothic style, the abbot's and guest quarters, and the north and west gates were built. From 1558 to 1730, the cloister was renovated again, the farm and outbuildings (long barn, living and cart house wing) appeared and the abbot's quarters, the provisional building, the parsonage and the gates were renovated. The Baroque monastery buildings date from the 17th century.
