Corsendonk
The historic priory of Corsendonk set among wooded grounds in Oud-Turnhout

Oud-Turnhout

Priorij Corsendonk

A restored priory where centuries of quiet still shape the day.

Where heritage is reborn

Founded as a priory in 1395, Corsendonk has welcomed travellers, scholars and seekers of calm for more than six centuries. Today its cloistered halls and walled gardens form a retreat a short distance from Turnhout, close enough for the town yet far enough for the woodland to fall silent at dusk. Vaulted ceilings, weathered brick and generous light give every room the weight of a place that has always belonged here.

THE ESTATE

Walled Gardens

Twelve hectares of woodland, orchard and cloister garden, laced with cycling and walking trails that begin at the gatehouse and lose themselves in the trees.

Mornings in the Refectory
