Faliezustersklooster, Medieval monastery in Jekerkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Faliezustersklooster stands near the Jeker River with its stone facade, renaissance architecture, and characteristic window frames made of limestone and marlstone.

In 1796, French authorities closed the monastery, which at that time housed only seven residents including the prioress, five sisters, and one novice.

The sisters received their name from their distinctive veils and dedicated their lives to nursing sick people and caring for mentally ill women.

Located at Faliezusterspark 1-5, the building maintains its architectural features with hardstone window frames on the ground floor and marlstone on upper levels.

A gravestone of a former mother superior remains embedded in the second medieval city wall, displaying her name and date of death.
