Caermers monastry, Medieval monastery in Patershol district, Ghent, Belgium.
The Caermers monastery features stone walls, Gothic architecture elements, and traditional religious spaces spread across multiple buildings within its complex.
Founded in 1272, the Carmelite monks established this monastery after relocating from Mount Carmel in Palestine due to Islamic expansion in their region.
The monastery reflects the influence of Carmelite traditions through its architectural design, religious spaces, and integration with the surrounding medieval neighborhood.
Located at Vrouwebroersstraat 6, the monastery stands near the Gravensteen fortress and maintains specific visiting hours for public access.
The monastery's stone structures form part of an unchanged medieval street pattern within Patershol, recognized by UNESCO for heritage preservation.
