If you think that only monks live in silence and spend the whole day praying, take a look at the Trappist farm Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven. Here they've been working hard every day brewing one of Europe’s best beers since 1884. This is still the most important source of income for the monastery, partially thanks to exports to the United States where the beer is sold under the name of ‘Koningshoeven Trappist Ale’. Nine special beers are brewed here under the close supervision of the clergymen themselves. Visitors will get a great impression of the whole brewing process in an audiovisual tour or a proper guided tour of the abbey where 16 monks between the ages of 24 to 81 live and work. Even if you don’t like beer, you'll still enjoy a visit, as the peaceful surroundings and the impressive complex with its characteristic towers are certainly worth a look.
