Postel Abbey

The Postel Abbey is located in the Mol, Belgium and it is in the territory of Antwerp.It is also called Premonstratensian nursery. In 1138 Premonstratensian ordinances from Floreffe Abbey established the religious community at Postel as a needy convent. In 1613 Postel ended up autonomous of Floreffe and in 1618 was raised to the status of the monastery.

In 1797, the monastery was shut, and the groups ousted, over the span of the French Revolution, when French troops attacked the Austrian Netherlands. In 1847, the group here was re-built up, after which the convent structures were reestablished in a few stages.
