Rijnsburg Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Rijnsburg, Netherlands
The Romanesque abbey church features a remaining tower in the center of Rijnsburg, integrated into the current church structure.
Petronilla of Lorraine established this religious institution in 1133, which operated continuously until its destruction during the Protestant Reformation in 1574.
The monastery accepted exclusively female members from noble families, developing into the principal religious institution for women of high society in Holland.
The National Archive in The Hague maintains extensive documentation about the abbey, including records of financial transactions and lists of abbesses from 1383 to 1463.
Multiple Dutch nobility members, including Count Dirk VI, Count William I, Count Floris IV, and Count Floris V, selected this abbey as their final resting place.
