Grimbergen
About this Place
Grimbergen is a town in Flemish Brabant, just north of Brussels. It is best known for Grimbergen Abbey, a Norbertine monastery whose brewing tradition stretches back almost 900 years and inspired one of Belgium's most recognisable abbey beers.
Visitor notes
The abbey remains at the heart of Grimbergen and is the main reason to visit. Alongside the historic buildings, the town offers a relaxed atmosphere within easy reach of Brussels, making it a straightforward excursion for anyone interested in Belgium's brewing heritage.
Dog-friendly
Dogs are welcome in the town and surrounding public spaces when kept on a lead. Access to the abbey buildings may be restricted, so check current visitor arrangements before travelling.
