Commanderie van Sint Jan, Nijmegen, Medieval stone building in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The Commanderie van Sint Jan features thick stone walls, vaulted cellars, and large windows distributed across its historical architecture.
Built in 1196 as a hospital by Count Alardus and his wife Uda, the structure became a monastery of the Knights of St. John in 1214.
The building transformed from a Catholic monastery to a Protestant academic institution in 1655, reflecting the religious changes in the Netherlands.
Located at Franseplaats 1 in Nijmegen, the building now houses a brewery, chocolate shop, and coffee roasting facility open to visitors.
During the 1950s, an antiques dealer converted the war-damaged ruins into a wine cellar that became a popular establishment in Nijmegen.
