Klooster Dolphia, Former monastery in Enschede, Netherlands
The three basement wings of Klooster Dolphia form a U-shape around the cloister courtyard, with a low corridor under a saddleback roof on the east side.
Built between 1936 and 1937, architect Martinus van Beek designed this religious complex for the Capuchin Fathers following the Delft School architectural principles.
The monastery features small wall niches with tile tablets created by H. Levigne and a prominent statue of Saint Francis above the main entrance.
Located at Gronausestraat 710 in Enschede, visitors can observe the exterior architecture and traditional yellow handmade bricks with red and gray roof tiles.
The building transitions from religious seminary to modern training institute while preserving original elements like wrought iron fittings and brown sandstone water tables.
