Onze-Lieve-Vrouweabdij, Benedictine monastery in De Heilige Driehoek, Oosterhout, Netherlands.

The Onze-Lieve-Vrouweabdij features neo-gothic architectural elements and contains multiple workshops spread across its extensive grounds within protected walls.

French Benedictine sisters established the monastery in 1901 on the Vredeoord estate, acquiring a former boys' boarding school as their initial residence.

The monastery maintains active workshops for tapestry restoration, liturgical vestment creation, icon painting, weaving activities, and candle decoration.

Twenty-three sisters currently reside in the abbey, following Saint Benedict's rule while combining their daily routines of work, study, and prayer.

The monastery forms part of De Heilige Driehoek, a 250-acre protected area containing three active monasteries surrounded by gardens and farmlands.
