Sint-Truiden - Abbey Abdij

 
North of the Grote Markt are the buildings of the abbey founded in the seventh C. by St Trudo. It was one of the largest monastic complexes in the Netherlands - the church alone was over 100m/328ft long and 24m/79ft wide - but during the French occupation almost everything was destroyed. The building to be seen today dates mainly from the 18th C.; notable are the archway and the Keizersaal on the left side of the courtyard which has fresco decoration.
