What is now a cultural hotspot was a care site for more than seven centuries. Hiking on the beautiful Bijloke site and in the historic Bijloke Abbey, you get into the shoes of the nuns who once worked and lived here. 'Ora et labora' and caritas. These women left worldly life, but were at the same time at the centre of it. A story about obedience and rebellion, care and boss ladies avant la lettre. About how sisters learned to stand their womanhood, with the Lord in mind and hands at the bedside.
This guided tour takes you inside STAM and Bijloke Abbey as well as outside on the Bijloke site. Inside, you will see the abbey refectory, the dormitory and the abbey church, where the sisters lived and worked.
