| Description |
English: Villers Abbey (abbaye de Villers) is an ancient Cistercian abbey located in the town of Villers-la-Ville, in the Walloon Brabant province of Wallonia (Belgium). Founded in 1146 in the valley of the Thyle by Bernard de Clairvaux, this abbey was one of the first daughters of the abbey of Clairvaux. It was very early protected by the Dukes of Brabant and thus quickly fertile. The thirteenth century marked its peak. Between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, the abbey experienced a succession of calm and troubled periods, during which the monks left the premises nine times for reasons of insecurity. In the 18th century, the abbey experienced its second golden age, marked by great architectural turmoil. After the French Revolution, the monastic community had to disperse, then the abbey was sold as national property. Since then, in the 19th and 20th centuries, the site suffered damage and restoration.

Cette abbaye fut fondée en 1146 dans la vallée de la Thyle par Bernard de Clairvaux. Elle fut très tôt protégée par les ducs de Brabant. Le XIIIe siècle marque son apogée. Entre les XIVe et XVIIe siècles, l'abbaye a connu une succession de périodes calmes et de troubles, au cours desquelles les moines ont quitté les lieux neuf fois pour des raisons d'insécurité. Au XVIIIe siècle, l'abbaye connut son deuxième âge d'or, marqué par de grands bouleversements architecturaux. Après la Révolution française, la communauté monastique dut se disperser, puis l'abbaye fut vendue comme bien national.
