July 30, 2026,Oude Abdij van Drongen: Schilderachtig aan de Leie, Asselswandelroute

Hidden in a bend of the Leie lies the old abbey of Drongen. The unique 10-hectare abbey domain with historic buildings and an extensive English garden offers ample space for relaxation. Since 1998, the domain has been protected heritage and a center for contemplation under the guidance of a small Jesuit community of retired fathers.
