The « European Forum : Cistercians at the North Sea and the Baltic Sea » is an association of Cistercian places and people who are interested in them. We deal with the heritage of the Cistercian order, its branches near the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and that what may be called « specific local Cistercian spirit ». In Averbode (Belgium) we will spend the night an have catering. There will also be the presentations and from there we will visit Cisterian monasteries: Westmalle, Herkenrode, and some others. September, 14-16th 2018. Info and registration : bernhard.buttjer@gmx.de
