Tips

Anyone who enters the beautiful courtyard of the abbey, under the late Romanesque and Gothic gatehouse, immediately gets an overview of the most important sights.

The Romanesque substructure of the gatehouse dates from the 14th century. It is built of iron sandstone layered with white sandstone. The gatehouse is the "only" architectural remnant of the Romanesque-Gothic abbey from the 13th / 14th century. The Gothic superstructure in white marl sandstone was built in the 16th century. In the niches are statues of Our Lady. Saint Catherine (left) and Saint Barbara (right).

In the brick façade, in a niche, stands the statue of Saint Dimpa.

Continue through the gate and discover the heavenly paradise of the Norbertines.

When you enter the abbey through the gatehouse, you will get a nice overview of the various buildings and therefore also the different architectural styles over the years in the inner courtyard.
