Val-Dieu Abbey — Attraction in Aubel

Excellent! Went on a guided tour that gives some history through the beautiful abbey and ends with a beer tasting. The tour needs to be booked in advance and it's in either english french and flemish. The beer for those who know Val-dieu is an excellent blond belgian beer. There are multiple other beers (like the brown, triple and a few other specials) which offer some other interesting variety. The gift shop offers also cheeses and other tid bits. Although the prices are on the higher end. The restaurant in the place offers simplistic standard Belgium food, which is quite good (hamburger was nice and juicy, and the soup was fresh with homemade bread that was rustic and excellent. One of the better abbeys in Belgium and highly recommend for some beer tasting and a history...

The abbey is a Cistercian monastery in Aubel, Berwinne valley since 1216. The Monks from Lanaken settled at the border. This church is the 5th version if you include the enlargements. There's also a brewery with very good beer, and this is the oldest monk-beer. The Beer is still brewed at the monastery, but bottled elsewhere. You can subscribe for a guided tour of the brewery and of the monastery and ther are both worth it. Very good guide. There's also a nice park well maintenanced. Ideal for a picknick, but please keep it clean. It is clean...

You'll be impressed by the size of it and it's beautiful seroundings! As they say " where there's an Abbey there's a Munk" and we all know that munks are the best beer brewer's ! 🍻 😊 So, of course this 800 years old abbey as it's own brewery! Here you will be able to attend a church ceremonial, take a walk on its beautiful park, eat a nice meal on a pretty terrace and of course taste the very good beer 🍻 brewed after an 800 years old recepie! It's worth the try! You won't...
