St. Peter's Abbey

St. Peter's Abbey is a historic Benedictine monastery founded in 622 AD in Ghent, Belgium. It served as a religious community dedicated to prayer, work, and learning, and played a significant role in medieval religious and cultural life. Over centuries, the abbey complex included churches, cloisters, and living quarters for monks. Though much of the original structure was destroyed or altered, the site remains an important symbol of medieval Christianity and monastic tradition. Today, it is recognized for its historical architecture and continues to be a site of cultural heritage and tourism.
