The map
From above, Grimbergen looks less like one town than a group of settlements. The historic centre gathers around its abbey, and the surrounding villages each keep their own small knot of streets. Between them are patches of field and woodland, a reminder that open country still starts just beyond the northern edge of Brussels.
The Norbertine abbey was founded in the twelfth century and gives the town most of its reputation. Its name reached a far wider audience through the abbey beer that carries the Grimbergen name and a phoenix emblem. On the map the abbey precinct appears as a dense block of buildings and gardens, with the market streets and residential lanes spreading out from it.
A Grimbergen map poster also shows the long, straight line of the canal on the eastern side, with its roads and industrial plots running alongside. The contrast between that engineered line and the irregular village roads gives the drawing its character: a place where old parish geography and twentieth-century infrastructure sit side by side on a single sheet.
The abbey complex at the heart of the centre shows up as a compact cluster of buildings, courtyards and gardens that the older streets of the town grew around.
On the eastern side a straight waterway cuts across the landscape, drawing a clean line that contrasts with the curving roads of the surrounding villages.
Several separate settlements belong to the municipality, and on the map each one appears as its own small cluster of streets separated by green space.

Why Grimbergen
Grimbergen suits people who know it as a quiet home just outside the capital, and also those who connect it with the abbey and its beer. The map records a very Flemish arrangement of church, village and field in a way a photograph rarely does.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a family name or a moving date, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The HD files cost $9, and printed posters ship from partners in more than 30 countries.
