More about the church

The impressive Baroque high altar was made by Jacques Bergé, who also created the marble tomb of the abbots, the abbot’s throne, and several sculptures and pieces of furniture in the church.
The eight large canvases by the artist Pieter Jozef Verhaegen depict scenes from the lives of Norbertus and Jesus.
On the right side of the nave stands a statue of Saint Quirinus, who has been venerated in Park for centuries.
