In the horse stables you will find a catering business with a contemporary self-service concept where the charm of the beautiful historical building merges with a fresh contemporary interior. You can go there after your walk/visit to eat and/or drink something. In sunny weather you can enjoy a spacious terrace.

The horse stables within the abbey farm complex of Herkenrode were built in the second half of the 17th century, a period in which the abbey had to recover from the turbulent years of the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). The abbey flourished again from 1653 under the rule of abbess Anna Catharina de Lamboy. A revival that was expressed in a major construction campaign. For proper management, she had all the properties of the abbey mapped out by surveyor Peter Meysman from Lebbeke. His survey plan is the oldest iconographic source for the horse stables.
