HERKENRODE
ABBEY SITE
Visit, experience
and discover!
The Herkenrode Abbey site is a legacy of a fascinating
past nestled in beautiful surroundings. The old farm
buildings of Herkenrode Abbey and the surrounding
100 hectares of nature have been developed into a
lively place with something for everyone. The site is
the starting point for several walks and cycle routes.
You can also hire a bike here.
INTERACTIVE MUSEUM
The interactive museum immerses you in the fascinating 600-year history of women at
Herkenrode, in times of prosperity and decline. The audio guide ‘The abbess talks’ really
brings the story to life. The family tours tell the abbey’s story in a way tailored to children.
