Sint-Barbaraklooster, Medieval monastery in Delft, Netherlands

The Sint-Barbaraklooster building includes multiple stone chambers, traditional Dutch architectural elements, and extensive surrounding gardens within its monastic complex.

Founded in 1405, the monastery operated until 1572 when the prohibition of Catholicism in Holland led to its transformation into an orphanage.

The monastery reflects the influence of the Third Order of Franciscans through its architectural design and religious spaces that served the local community.

The building currently houses the student society KSV Sanctus Virgilius and maintains its status as a protected national monument under number 11987.

After the city fire of 1536, the monastery underwent restoration and later served as a weapon storage facility during the 16th and 17th centuries.
