Description from The Little Monastery:
We are wonderfully situated in the green en open surroundings of Damme. Our view over the countryside is unique.
The history of the property goes far along.
The land was a gift of Margaretha of Constantinople in 1275.
In the late 16th century a small monastery with about 10 monks was founded depending from the North French Cistercian Fathers abbey 'Vaucelles'. The main goal of the monks to come here was to build dikes & to protect the land from getting flooded.
Today, the Garnier family turned the property into a magnificent place to stay. The property consists out of buildings of the 17th, 18th & 19th century, which have al been carefully restored and surrounded by a garden purely designed with lots of boxwood. The result is very romantic & serene.
