Roosenberg Abbey was established in 1238 at Waasmunster, halfway between Ghent and Antwerp. The abbey is still operating at Waasmunster, though not on its original site. Its 750-year history has not been uninterrupted.
In 1975 Roosenberg moved to its present site along the "Oudeheerweg-Heide" road. The unapologetically functional building is the work of the Benedictine architect, Hans van der Laan.
