La Trappe

She is subtly present at the Abbey of Our Lady of Koningshoeven in Berkel-Enschot, the scent of hops, yeast and malt. Trappist ale has been brewed here since 1884. The monks of the abbey are the origin of this ale. They are popularly called “Trappists”, after the origin of their order: the French Soligny-La-Trappe. This order is characterized by austerity, silence and the duty of charity.

At the end of the 19th century, a small group of Trappist monks fled from France to Berkel-Enschot. There, in the heart of Brabant, they found a piece of heather with some hooves and a sheepfold. They embraced this former country residence of King Willem II – the Koningshoeven – as their new home. They founded their monastery there and decided to brew ale. To this day they fill their lives here with prayer and work. In peace and quiet.
