Grimbergen Abbey

Grimbergen Abbey is an active Premonstratensian abbey that has existed on the same site since 1128. The baroque Saint Servatius Basilica, the monastic buildings, and the adjoining brewery form an impressive ensemble just north of Brussels. The abbey is also famous for its renowned Grimbergen beers, the production of which recently returned to the grounds themselves with a modern monastic brewery.

Accessibility is partial. The basilica has several steps at the main entrance, but a side entrance with a ramp is available on request. The interior of the basilica is largely level on the ground floor and offers an impressive view of the baroque confessionals and altarpieces. The visitor centre and the brewery are modern buildings with full wheelchair accessibility, including an adapted toilet and lift.

The abbey grounds have a large car park with disabled parking spaces. A museum, garden, and hospitality venues surround the abbey, generally accessible via level paths. The princes' chapel and some historic rooms in the abbey itself remain limited in accessibility due to stairs. A visit can be combined with the nearby Prinsenbos and the Liermolen, which offer partly accessible walking paths.
