Orval - Abbey of Our Lady - Cloître du Noviciat
Added by Bart Perdieus
General Description In 1887, the land and ruins were acquired by the Harenne family. They donated the lands to the Cistercian order in 1926 so that monastic life could resume on the site. Between 1926 and 1948, under the direction of the Trappist monk Marie-Albert van der Cruyssen, the new monastery was constructed, and in 1935 Orval regained the rank of abbey. On 8 September 1948, the new church was consecrated.
The ruins of the medieval buildings remain on the site and are available to view.
