Religious Building

NORBERTIJNENABDIJ VAN TONGERLO

It was founded in 1128 in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The first monks were sent from Saint Michael's Abbey. With the erection of new dioceses (1559-60) in Belgium and the Netherlands, heavy burdens were cast on the abbey. The abbey is also the site of a Leonardo da Vinci Museum, which contains a 16th century copy on canvas of Leonardo's Last Supper.
