Park Abbey is a Premonstratensian abbey at Heverlee just south of Leuven. It was founded in 1129 by Duke Godfrey who possessed an immense park near Leuven and had invited the Premonstratensians to take possession of a small church he had built there. The abbey is one of the most complete surviving complexes among the great Flemish abbeys.

The detail of the ceiling decoration in the refectory represents the Last Supper.
