Ten Duinen Abbey, also called the Abbey of the Dunes, was a Cistercian monastery at Koksijde, Belgium, founded in 1138. It was one of the richest and most influential religious institutions in the medieval County of Flanders. The community later relocated to Bruges, and the Koksijde buildings were demolished in 1796.
