The Bijlokemuseum Refectory is unique in many ways as it occupies the Cistercian Abbey of Bijloke (Byloke Abbey). But that isn't all! The Bijlokemuseum Refectory holds one of the richest collections ever found in the world of ancient pieces in true to the century historical settings. Works of glass, metal, leather, weapons, painting etc. Nowhere else in the world will you find such remarkably preserved and historically significant pieces.

Pay close attention to the Bijlokemuseum Refectory building itself, a major historical landmark in its own right. Prized for its architectural values this building's main focal point is the brick gabled 14th century refectory (31m/101ft long and almost 14m/46ft high). The interior walls are covered with frescos circa 1325 and include a 10m-long rendition of the Last Supper. The room has a tomb in its center in which the body of Hugo II of Ghent/Gant lies in perpetuity. Hugo died in 1232. The Bijlokemuseum Refectory will merit your full time attention when you tour its vast recesses.
