New Monastery Buildings Description
The new monastery buildings can only visited by previous arrangement and accompanied by a monk. From a little tower in the wall just behind the Court of Charity there is a fine view of the extensive complex. In the middle is the Court of Honor with a trapeze-shaped pond; from here a broad flight of steps leads up to the new monastery church, the facade of which is dominated by a monumental 17m/56ft-high statue of the Virgin Mary by Lode Vleeshouwers. Near the left aisle rises the 60m/197ft high belfry.
Hobbies & Activities category: Christian sites;  Standalone sculpture, statue or fountain
