TONGERLO ABBEY // WALKING in the COLD-FOGGY WEATHER // DISCOVERING BELGIUM // WINTER 2021

Tongerlo Abbey is a Norbertine abbey in the village of Tongerlo in the Belgian Municipality of Westerlo.
It was founded in 1128 in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, by Giselbert of Kasterlee, who not only gave the land, but also himself became a lay brother in the new community. The first monks were sent from St. Michael's Abbey, Antwerp, under Henry, who had come with Saint Norbert, founder of the Premonstratensian Order, to Antwerp to extirpate the Tanchelmite heresies. The charter of its foundation was signed, amongst others, by Bernard of Clairvaux and by Waltman, first abbot of Antwerp. The Bishop of Cambrai granted synodal rights to the abbots.
