The pharmacy, built in 1784 on arcades, connected the monks' infirmary to the garden of medicinal plants. The whole offered visitors a magnificent axial perspective between the Brussels gate and the abbot's palace. Under the arcades, carriages and teams of horses circulated in the middle, and pedestrians on the sides. According to the accounts of the abbey pharmacy in the 18th century, we know that the monks made extensive use of purifying potions and chest remedies.
