Abbaye de Villers; With the sun shining, this is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Everyone who visits the abbey ruins at Villers, south of Brussels, wonders how they could never have been before.
We went on Good Friday and really enjoyed our afternoon there. The kids can run about and climb alittle, lots of places to explore! This can easily fill an afternoon.
What’s
left of the massive 12th-century abbey that was once home to monks of
the Cistercian Order makes for one of the most beautiful sites in
Belgium.
Normally
buzzing with all kinds of events and activities, corona means your
visit is focused on the abbey and its gardens – which is no bad thing.
