Ter Doest Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey in Belgium , in what is now the municipality of Lissewege in the city of Bruges in West Flanders .
history
The Lord of Lissewege, Lambert, left a domain with a chapel to the Benedictines in 1106 , who built an abbey there. This joined the Cistercian order in 1175 as a subsidiary of the Ten Duinen Abbey in Koksijde from the filiation of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . The abbey played an important role in the damming of coastal areas in Flanders , Zeeland and Holland and in the wool trade. In 1624 it was united with Ten Duinen. In 1627 it was relocated to Bruges. In 1796 the monastery was closed.
