What to do in Belgium?
Exploring Belgium: Villers Abbey
If you fancy visiting old buildings and cultural heritage, Villers Abbey in Belgium is your destination.
Located between Brussels and Charleroi on more than 30 hectares of land, Abbaye des Villers welcomes more than 100,000 visitors a year.

The Authentic History of Villers Abbey
The Abbey was founded at the initiative of Gauthier de Marbais in 1146 when the knight and his mother invited the monks of the Abbey of Clairvaux to establish a new Cistercian Abbey at Villers.

The construction of the Gothic building took more than 100 years, while the church itself took 70 years to build. Hundreds of monks inhabited the Abbey back then, and its lands expanded on thousands of hectares. This was the first golden age of Abbaye de Villers.

In the 16th-17th centuries, invasions started, and monks had to abandon the place several times.

The 18th century was the second golden age of the Abbey when neoclassical buildings were constructed and the old medieval ones renovated. The Abbot's Palace and its gardens were built during that period.

After the French Revolution, the Abbey started to decay. The buildings were looted, and the precious objects were taken away. Only ruins left under the natural forces.

The Modern History of Villers Abbey
In 1855, the railway line between Ottignies and Charleroi was built, and it passed through the Abbot's Palace gardens. At that time, people didn't know about the history and the meaning of the place.

Later in the 19th century, the State engaged in significant restoration activities, and the ruins were classified as a historic site and a monument.
At the end of the 20th century, the last restoration was initiated, and eventually, the Abbey was classified as an exceptional heritage in 1992.

Belgium Tourism:
Today, visitors can examine over 900 years of history on the marvelous ruins. One can also find lots of activities such as guided visits, family walks, open-air concerts, theatre shows, and exhibitions.
