The abbey church from choir to crypt

The Abdijkerk Museum in Thorn comprises the church interior, museum rooms, church treasures and a film about the history of the stift. The route links architecture with objects and places still present in the building.

Plan your visit ↗

Look from the ladies’ choir

See how the choir relates to the altar, nave and chapter area. Its position in the building helps you understand the organisation of the former stift in spatial terms.

Treasures in their church context

With relics and liturgical objects, ask what they were used for and when they were on view. Material value and religious function do not tell the same story.

Down into the crypt

The crypt with its mummy draws attention, but also look at the construction, access and labels. Check which identification and dating are actually substantiated.

Before you go

From 1 April to 30 October open Tuesday to Sunday 10.30–16.30. The winter schedule is more limited; for a winter visit, check the current opening hours and exceptions.
