Abbey of Saint Sixtus

The Abbey of Saint Sixtus, also known as the Westvleteren Abbey, is a Benedictine monastery in Belgium renowned for its exceptional, traditionally brewed Trappist beers. Founded in the 19th century, it operates under strict monastic principles, with monks dedicating their lives to prayer, contemplation, and brewing. The monastery is highly regarded among beer enthusiasts for its limited, high-quality brews, which are only sold at the monastery or nearby and are carefully crafted to maintain tradition and uniqueness. The Abbey Temple and its peaceful setting also make it a spiritual and cultural landmark.
