Park Abbey Heritage site
What do we do?
The Park Abbey Heritage Site organisation is responsible for opening up access to, restoring, repurposing and managing the historic abbey site. In doing so, care is taken to ensure that the values and authentic character of the abbey as a spiritual and serene place with special cultural-historical and natural assets on the outskirts of the city are preserved.

How do we operate?
The heritage site Park Abbey (EAP) is a private company that has a strong connection within the municipal organisation. This is also evident from the composition of its governing bodies. The municipal executive of the City of Leuven, supplemented by a director from AG Stadsontwikkeling Leuven, serves as the management board which is ultimately responsible for the operations of the EAP. They are assisted in this role by the management committee, which oversees the day-to-day operations of the organisation.
Heritage site Park Abbey can count on the committed support of numerous partners, not least our site partners who, in the tradition of the past, are breathing new life into the abbey life of today. Furthermore, there are our structural partners, without whom the restoration and opening up of the site would not be possible.
