It is the old(former) main entrance of the abbey, built in 1632, that contained the meeting rooms of the magistrate, the rooms of justice and the prisons. This monument is also called "Priory" because it touched the apartments of the prior. The whole construction allows to consider him(it) as a real artistic jewel in the taste of Flemish Renaissance.
