"En 1998, à l'occasion du dixième anniversaire des Journées du patrimoine, la commission philatélique de la Poste émettra le 6 juillet une série de douze timbres-poste, dont l'un sera consacré à l'abbaye cistercienne de Villers.

C'est la huitième prévente depuis sa création et deux timbres en rapport avec l'abbaye avaient déjà été émis: l'un, consacré aux Ruines en 1982, un autre à saint-Bernard en 1990. Un seul regret: ce timbre spécial aurait pu sortir voici deux ans, à l'occasion du 850e anniversaire de la fondation de l'abbaye."
