Bethlehem, Augustinian monastery in Gaanderen, Netherlands.
The Bethlehem monastery complex occupies a strategic location north of Gaanderen, where a farm called Het Klooster currently stands along the Rekhemseweg.
Founded between the 12th and 16th centuries, the monastery received its first wooden chapel consecration by Bishop Baldwin of Utrecht between 1178 and 1182.
The monastery preserved a plenarium containing Gospel texts and miniature paintings from the 13th century, reflecting medieval manuscript creation techniques.
The monastery location remains identifiable through the boundary line between Doetinchem and Bronckhorst municipalities, near the Bielheimerbeek stream.
Several streets in Gaanderen, including Augustijnenstraat, Monnikenstraat, and Bethlehemstraat, commemorate the monastery's historical presence in the region.
