Over a period of 22 years, from 1926 to 1948, a completely new abbey was built based on a design by architect Henri Vaes. This was primarily the work of Ghent native Albert-Marie Van der Cruyssen, who became the first abbot in 1936. On August 20, 1929, the foundation stone was laid in the presence of Prince Leopold and Cardinal Van Roey. The new abbey was completed in 1948. On June 5, 1939, the abbey church was consecrated and elevated to Basilica Minor by Pope Pius XII. On September 8, 1948, the abbey church and the completed cloister were solemnly consecrated by Cardinal Micara, who served as Apostolic Nuncio to Belgium from 1923 to 1946 and subsequently became Prefect of the Congregation for Rites. To finance the major construction projects, which by then had already cost tens of millions of Belgian francs, various fundraising activities were initiated. For example, special postage stamps with a surcharge were issued by the Belgian government. The cheese factory (1931) and the brewery (1932) were established to generate the necessary funds, and laypeople were employed from the outset. After the construction work was completed, these proceeds were used for social and charitable purposes. (Wikipedia)

Unmissable for the Red Cross: Dive into an enchanted kingdom where legends and mysteries weave the fabric of the landscape… This mountain of sand, like a sleeping giant, reveals its heart of stone sculpted by the whims of time. At the dawn of the Jurassic, erosion gently carved out winding galleries, while the main gallery, 15 meters long, arouses a curious fascination. Was it an offering from the ancients, shaped by human hands, or simply the patient work of nature? The flints found nearby whisper echoes of prehistory, silent witnesses of a bygone era. The Trou des Fées, guardian of forgotten secrets, awaits you.
