Around 1775, Abbot Ildephonsus Van den Bruel (1772 – 1792) engaged Laurent-Benoît Dewez (1731 – 1812), an architect in the service of Charles of Lorraine, the governor of the Southern Netherlands. He was commissioned to develop a plan for the construction of a completely new abbey, in which all existing structures would make way for contemporary buildings in neoclassical style. The abbot's quarters, outside the church, are the only part that Dewez was able to have built (1776). Source and more information at abdijvanvlierbeek.be/virtueel- Visit/nieuw-abtskwartier/
