St Peter’s Abbey
St Peter’s Abbey was originally called Blandinium after its location on the Blandijn Hill. In the early years, the abbey admitted both men and women, but very soon the abbey definitively became a monastery. The other institute founded by Amand was a church, Ganda, which later became St Bavo’s Abbey. Since the tenth century AD, Blandinium has been known as St Peter’s.
