Ursuline Convent Sittard, Catholic monastery in Sittard, Netherlands.
The Ursuline Convent in Sittard is a complex of interconnected buildings from different periods, located at Oude Markt in the town center. The oldest wing now functions as a hotel while newer sections serve as residential apartments.
The convent was established on the grounds of a former residence dating from the 17th century known as House on the Mountain. The Ursuline sisters arrived in 1843 and expanded the building over subsequent decades.
The convent served as a center for female education and community life in the town for generations. The sisters shaped the religious and social fabric of Sittard through their presence and work.
The complex sits in a central location and is easy to find, with gardens accessible to visitors. A leisurely walk through the green spaces offers a peaceful interlude during a town visit.
The walled garden behind the convent was originally designed as a fortified space for defense, but has evolved into a public green area. Today it provides visitors with a quiet retreat within the town.
