During the monastic period (1129–1645), a brewery stood on this site. One of the original beer cellars has been preserved and is open to the public. On Maundy Thursday before Easter and on Christmas Eve, Mariënwaerdt Abbey held so-called "spyndongen": large distributions of (rye) bread and beer. The poor from the surrounding area were invited to present themselves at the monastery gate for these distributions. In the Middle Ages, beer was considered better than water because the brewing process kept it free of bacteria, while drinking water was often contaminated.
