Abbaye Notre-Dame de Leffe is a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1177 in Dinant, Belgium. Historically significant for its brewing tradition – the abbey is the origin of the Leffe beer brand – it also possesses considerable architectural and artistic heritage. The abbey church, rebuilt after multiple destructions throughout its history (including during the French Revolution), showcases Gothic and Baroque styles. While brewing operations moved to a commercial facility in 1986, the abbey remains an active religious community and a cultural landmark, frequently hosting events that blend its historical context with contemporary arts programming.
