Description
La Cambre Abbey or Ter Kameren Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey in Ixelles, Brussels. It is located in the Maelbeek valley between the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos and the Ixelles Ponds. The abbey church is a Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels and home to a community of Norbertine canons, while other parts of the monastery house the headquarters of the Belgian National Geographic Institute and La Cambre, a prestigious visual arts school. The abbey was founded around 1196. It was suppressed during the French Revolution. Most of today's buildings date from the 18th century; only the church, the refectory and the wing of the capitular hall maintain their medieval character. The simple abbey church houses Albert Bouts' early 16th-century oil painting The Mocking of Christ.

It's a very peaceful and pleasant abbey with parks and a bar where you can relax for a drink on sunny days. It's popular but still not too many visitors so you can enjoy calm and silence to relax. Very nice place.

The Abbaye is one of the most beautiful places in Brussels. Many people visit the Abbey on a nice summer's day to relax, socialise and read. The gardens are kept in pristine condition. There is a fantastic array of plant life. The Abbey is still in use for Mass and ceremonies. On summer weekends, there is a small café in the centre, where one may buy coffee and ice cream.
