Klooster Nazareth

Located on Straelseweg, the monastery displays red brick architecture with Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic elements, including pointed arch doors and decorative stonework.

Built between 1901 and 1911 under Dean Mares' commission, architect Henri Seelen designed this structure as an orphanage operated by the Sisters of Charity.

The monastery housed an orphanage, shelter, and school, managed by the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy from Tilburg until the 1980s.

The building retains its original features, including terrazzo flooring, marbled panels, and cross-rib vaults supported by brick columns in the entry hall.

The structure incorporates both dark red and light-colored bricks in its symmetrical facade, with authentic stained glass windows adorning the chapel interior.
