Grimbergen

Tucked along the Maalbeek in Flemish Brabant, Grimbergen is a place whose character is shaped by the gentle valley landscape north of Brussels. It is best known for Grimbergen Abbey, a Norbertine foundation dating to 1128, whose brewing heritage is recalled by its phoenix emblem and the motto “Ardet nec consumitur” — “burns but is not consumed.” The abbey church, the Basilica of Saint Servatius, is a defining landmark in the historic centre. The municipality also encompasses the former rural villages of Beigem, Humbeek and Strombeek-Bever.
